摘要: mTOR is a key regulator of number critical cellular processes including growth, proliferation, cytoskeletal organization, and differentiation. mediates its effects on these by regulating mRNA translation initiation via phosphorylation major downstream targets: the 4E binding proteins (4E-BPs) ribosomal protein S6 kinases. Dysregulation signalling leads to increased growth proliferation implicated in human cancers. In particular, associated with cancers that are characterized loss or mutations tumour suppressors such as LKB1, PTEN, TSC1/2, which responsible for suppressing PI3K/AKT pathway. The regulation will be focus this chapter. role translational machinery oncogenesis discussed.
