Growth Signaling: TSC Takes Its Place
The protein products of the tumor suppressor genes tuberous sclerosis complex 1 and 2 form a protein complex, TSC1-TSC2, that inhibits growth. Several new studies suggest that TSC1-TSC2 does this by inhibiting TOR and S6 kinase, and that PI 3-kinase-Akt signaling relieves this inhibition.
متن کاملdTBC1D7 regulates systemic growth independently of TSC through insulin signaling.
The insulin signaling pathway plays key roles in systemic growth. TBC1D7 has recently been identified as the third subunit of the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a negative regulator of cell growth. Here, we used Drosophila as a model system to dissect the physiological function of TBC1D7 in vivo. In mutants lacking TBC1D7, cell and organ growth were promoted, and TBC1D7 limited cell growth i...

ove over, vesicles. Intermediate filaments (IFs) are also a major cargo of microtubule-based motor proteins, according to new results from Helfand et al. on page 795. The results M explain how rapid changes in IF structure are produced by transport of nonfilamentous vimentin particles. Dynamic changes in vimentin IF structure occur at the onset of cell spreading, requiring the transport of vime...
متن کاملOrthodontics in 3 millennia. Chapter 8: The cephalometer takes its place in the orthodontic armamentarium.
After World War II, cephalometric radiography came into widespread use, enabling orthodontists to measure changes in tooth and jaw positions produced by growth and treatment. Cephalometrics revealed that many malocclusions resulted from faulty jaw relationships, not just malposed teeth, and made it possible to see that jaw growth could be altered by orthodontic treatment. Since 1931, a multitud...
متن کاملThe emerging role of PtdIns5P: another signalling phosphoinositide takes its place.
Of the seven phosphoinositides, PtdIns5P remains the most enigmatic. However, recent research has begun to elucidate its physiological functions. It is now clear that PtdIns5P is found in several distinct subcellular locations, and the identification of a number of PtdIns5P-binding proteins points to its involvement in a variety of key processes, including signal transduction, membrane traffick...
