Centrosome Biology: A SAS-sy Centriole in the Cell Cycle Dispatch
... If the centrioles are the fundamental units, how are the pericentriolar components attached to them? This question is central to microtubule organization, because it is the γ-TuRC and other components of the pericentriolar material that nucleate and anchor microtubules. It should be noted that eukar ...

TORC2 Signaling is Antagonized by Protein Phosphatase
... (Inoki et al. 2005; Wullschleger et al. 2006; Zoncu et al. 2011). The TOR kinase is inhibited by the complex of rapamycin and Fpr1, a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase. The TOR kinase is conserved in eukaryotes. Unlike fungal species, which may possess two TOR kinases, higher eukaryotes such as h ...
