RICTOR
(RPTOR Independent Companion of mTOR, Complex 2 (RICTOR))
Cell growth is a fundamental biological process whereby cells accumulate mass and increase in size. The mammalian TOR (mTOR) pathway regulates growth by coordinating energy and nutrient signals with growth factor-derived signals . mTOR is a large protein kinase with two different complexes. One complex contains mTOR, µL and raptor, which is a target of rapamycin. The other complex, insensitive to rapamycin, includes mTOR, µL, Sin1 and rictor. The mTOR-rictor complex phosphorylates Ser473 of Akt/PKB in vitro . This phosphorylation is essential for full Akt/PKB activation. Furthermore, an siRNA knockdown of rictor inhibits Ser473 phosphorylation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. This complex has also been shown to phosphorylate the rapamycinresistant mutants of S6K1, another effector of mTOR . Synonyms: PIA, mAVO3, KIAA1999, MGC39830, DKFZp686B11164, RICTOR
