| Research Abstract |
Nutrients are indispensable for life. Thus, perception of the nutrient environment is also essential for cells. To recognize cellular nutrient conditions, eukaryotic cells employ Tor (target of rapamycin) protein kinase. However, it is not clear the mechanism how Tor perceives nutrient signals.
Our research group established a method to monitor Tor activity in vivo. The aim of our research group is to reveal the molecular mechanisms of how Tor receives nutrient signals.
