Phosphorylation and regulation of Akt/PKB by the rictor-mTOR complex
TL;DR: In this paper, the rictor-mTOR complex was used to identify compounds which modulate Akt activity mediated by the Rictor mTOR complex and methods for treating or preventing a disorder that is associated with aberrant Akt activation.

TSC2 mediates cellular energy response to control cell growth and survival.
TL;DR: It is described that TSC2 is regulated by cellular energy levels and plays an essential role in the cellular energy response pathway and its phosphorylation by AMPK protect cells from energy deprivation-induced apoptosis.

TL;DR: AMPK directly phosphorylates the mTOR binding partner raptor on two well-conserved serine residues, and this phosphorylation induces 14-3-3 binding to raptor, uncovering a conserved effector of AMPK that mediates its role as a metabolic checkpoint coordinating cell growth with energy status.

mTOR Interacts with Raptor to Form a Nutrient-Sensitive Complex that Signals to the Cell Growth Machinery
Do Hyung Kim,Dos D. Sarbassov,Siraj M. Ali,Jessie E. King,Robert R. Latek,Hediye Erdjument-Bromage,Paul Tempst,David M. Sabatini +7 more
TL;DR: It is reported that mTOR forms a stoichiometric complex with raptor, an evolutionarily conserved protein with at least two roles in the mTOR pathway that through its association with mTOR regulates cell size in response to nutrient levels.
