Outline of Final Research Achievements

TOR complex controls cellular functions such as cell survival, growth, and metabolism. TOR kinase is the catalytic subunit of TOR complex and its activity is thought to be regulated by multiple factors and signaling pathways in response to nutrient availability and growth factors. With an aim of identifying novel mechanisms that regulate TOR complex activity, biochemical and genetic screens were performed using fission yeast. The screenings identified various factors that potentially regulate the TOR complex signaling pathway either positively or negatively. Detailed analysis will be performed to reveal the molecular mechanism of each regulation.
