D.D. Sarbassov et al., "Rictor, a novel binding partner of mTOR, defines a rapamycin-insensitive and raptor-independent pathway that regulates the cytoskeleton,"
The authors describe a novel molecular mechanism whereby downstream signaling in the mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) pathway may proceed in a rapamycin-insensitive manner. This may help explain several recent reports of rapamycin-resistant effects resulting from cellular mTOR activation and also has implications for the design of drugs targeting the mTOR pathway.
N. Ramachandran et al., "Self-assembling protein microarrays,"
Protein microarrays were generated by printing cDNAs onto glass slides, translating target proteins with mammalian reticulocyte lysate, and using epitope tags fused to the proteins to immobilize them in situ.
