Gordo Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 https://scitechdaily.com/newly-discovered-protein-could-help-save-lives/amp/ Quote The scientific world is well aware that a protein complex known as TORC1 – short for Target of Rapamycin Kinase Complex 1 – regulates cell growth in everything from humans to yeasts. The protein that initiates this process in yeasts, however, has recently been identified and given the name Ait1. It is a nutrient sensor and TORC1 regulator. When functioning properly, Ait1 shuts down TORC1 in yeast cells when cells lack nutrients, inhibiting cell growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
