Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Dose Response of TOR pathway GFP-fusion proteins in Saccharomyes cerevisiae specifically RPL19A based on MLPCN hits
Description:  University of New Mexico Assay Overview: Assay Support: 1R03 MH086450-01 Project Title: Chemical Screen of TOR pathway GFP fusion proteins in S. cerevisiae PI: Maggie Werner-Washburn Center PI: Larry Sklar Assay Implementation: Jun Chen, Chris Allen, Susan Young, Anna Waller, Mark Carter Assay Background and Significance: The target of rapamycin, TOR, is a ser/thr protein kinase evolutionarily conserved from yeast to man [Wullschleger, et al. 2006]. TOR functions in two distinct protein complexes, TOR complex 1 (TORC1) and TORC2 [Cafferkey, et al. 1993; Stan, et al. 1994]. Curiously, only TOR in TORC1 is bound and inhibited by the lipophilic macrolide rapamycin [Kunz, et al. 1993; Helliwell, et al. 1998; Zhang, et al. 2006]. Although the signaling events up- and downstream of TORC2 (which regulates spatial aspects of growth) have yet to be elucidated in detail, it is well established that TORC1 is a central hub of a signaling network that couples cues from hormones and growth
