mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

5.1K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway

6.3K
The mammalian target of rapamycin  (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates growth, proliferation, and cell survival in response to hormones, growth factors, or nutrient availability. This kinase exists in two structurally and functionally distinct forms: mTOR complex 1  (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2  (mTORC2). The first form (mTORC1) is composed of a rapamycin-sensitive Raptor and proline-rich Akt substrate, PRAS40. In contrast,  mTORC2 consists of a...

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

7.1K
Multiprotein signaling complexes are formed in a dynamic process involving protein-protein interactions at the cytoplasmic domain of transmembrane receptors or enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins associated with the receptor. These complexes ensure the activation and propagation of intracellular signals that regulate cell functions.
Interaction domains in cell signaling
Interaction domains recognize exposed features of their binding partners containing post-translationally modified sequences,...

Assembly of Complex Microtubule Structures

2.8K
Complex microtubule structures are present in resting cells and in dividing cells. In resting cells, they are responsible for maintaining the cellular architecture, tracks for intracellular transport, positioning of organelles, assembly of cilia and flagella. They mediate the bipolar spindle assembly for chromosomal segregation and positioning of the cell division plate in dividing cells. The formation of microtubule complex structures depends on the cell type, cell stage, and cell function.

Protein Complex Assembly

17.1K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Biología molecular
  • Señales celulares
  • Biología estructural

Sus antecedentes:

  • El objetivo de la rapamicina (TOR) es un regulador clave del crecimiento celular, que existe en dos complejos: TORC1 y TORC2.
  • La señalización TOR (mTOR) desregulada de los mamíferos está relacionada con enfermedades como el cáncer, la diabetes y la neurodegeneración.

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Determinar la arquitectura de alta resolución del complejo mTORC1 humano unido a la FKBP-rapamicina.
  • Aclarar los mecanismos estructurales subyacentes a la regulación de mTORC1 y la interacción con el sustrato.

Principales métodos:

  • Microscopía cryoelectrónica (cryo-EM) con una resolución de 5,9 angstroms.
  • Estudios cristalográficos de Chaetomium thermophilum Raptor con una resolución de 4,3 angstroms.

Principales resultados:

  • El estudio resolvió la arquitectura del mTORC1 humano, incluidas sus subunidades Raptor y mLST8, en complejo con FKBP- rapamicina.
  • La estructura determinada explica cómo la arquitectura de FKBP-rapamicina y mTORC1 restringe el acceso al sitio activo.
  • El dominio amino-terminal conservado de Raptor está posicionado cerca del sitio activo de la quinasa, lo que sugiere un papel en el reconocimiento del sustrato.

Conclusiones:

  • La estructura resuelta proporciona información crítica sobre la regulación de la actividad de mTORC1.
  • Comprender la arquitectura de mTORC1 es crucial para desarrollar estrategias terapéuticas dirigidas a enfermedades asociadas con su desregulación.
