Gene Information

General description

This product (recombinant mTOR/Raptor/MLST8) is a complex of human mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), also known as FRAP1 (GenBank Accession No. NM_004958), amino acids 1362-end with N-terminal FLAG-tag, MW = 137 kDa; human mTOR associated protein, LST8 homolog (MLST8) (GenBank Accession No. NM_022372) amino acids 2-326 (end) with N-terminal His-tag, MW = 37 kDa and human regulatory associated protein of MTOR complex 1 (Raptor) (GenBank Accession No. NM_020761) amino acids 2-1335 (end) with N-terminal His-tag, MW=150 kDa, co-expressed in a Baculovirus-infected Sf9 cell expression system.

Application

Recombinant mTOR/Raptor/MLST8 has been used in in vitro caspase reactions.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) modulates cell growth and division by integrating nutrient and mitogen signals. It also modulates the functions of antigen-presenting cells, like dendritic cells and activates T-cells. mTOR is also involved in innate and adaptive immunity. mTOR associated protein, LST8 homolog (MLST8) is a subunit of both the mTOR complex 1 and 2 (mTORC1 and 2). It is crucial for the activation of the mTOR kinase and is a regulator of mTOR pathways. Regulatory-associated protein of mTOR complex 1 (RAPTOR) has an important role in modulating cell growth and energy homeostasis as a scaffolding protein. It takes part in recruiting substrates of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) to the rapamycin-sensitive mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1). RAPTOR also associates with proteins involved in the pathway and aids in phosphorylating them.

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR/TOR) is implicated in cancer and other human disorders and thus an important target for therapeutic intervention. To study human TOR in vitro, we have produced in large scale both the full-length TOR (289 kDa)
