The target of rapamycin (TOR) pathway, discovered 10 years ago, regulates cell growth. Recent studies in yeast highlight TOR

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • The target of rapamycin (TOR) pathway is a critical regulator of cell growth and metabolism.
  • Understanding TOR's precise function has been a significant area of research in yeast and higher eukaryotes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To commemorate the 10th anniversary of TOR discovery.
  • To review key breakthroughs in understanding TOR function, particularly in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
  • To emphasize TOR's role in nutrient-mediated control of cell growth.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of key discoveries in TOR research.
  • Analysis of findings from studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
  • Comparative analysis of TOR function across different eukaryotic organisms.

Main Results:

  • TOR was discovered 10 years ago, initiating a decade of research.
  • Significant progress has been made in elucidating TOR's role in yeast.
  • Evidence points to TOR as a central controller of cell growth in response to nutrient availability.

Conclusions:

  • TOR is a conserved signaling pathway crucial for nutrient sensing and cell growth.
  • Research in yeast has provided fundamental insights into TOR's mechanisms.
  • TOR's function in controlling cell growth is conserved in higher eukaryotes.
