| Research Abstract |
The TORC2 - Akt pathway is evolutionarily conserved from yeast to human. Whereas the human TORC2 pathway responds to glucose via insulin stimuli, the TORC2 pathway in a unicellular organism fission yeast directly recognizes glucose in the extracellular environment, although precise molecular mechanism how the TORC2 pathway is activated upon insulin stimuli or glucose in those organisms has remained elusive. In this study, we utilized fission yeast as a model organism and revealed that activity of Ryh1, a known activator of TORC2, is regulated in response to glucose.
