The mammalian target of rapamycin, mTOR, also know as FRAP or RAFT (1-3), is a serine/ threonine protein kinase.
mTOR acts as a sensor for ATP, amino acids, balancing the availability of nutrients and cell growth (4,5).
When sufficient nutrients are available, mediated by phosphatidic acid (6), mTOR transmits a positive signal to p70 S6 kinase and participates in the inactivation of the eIF4E inhibitor 4E-BP1.
These events result in activation of the translation of specific mRNA subpopulations.
mTOR is phosphorylated at serine 2,448 via the PI3 kinase/Akt signaling pathway and autophosphorylated at serine 2,481 (6,7).
