"Genetic support for a linear Akt1-mTOR-p70S6K pathway has recently come from reports demonstrating that the tuberous sclerosis complex 1 and 2 proteins (Tsc1 and Tsc2) can inhibit mTOR (Fig. 1). Akt1 phosphorylates Tsc2, thereby activating mTOR at least in part by disrupting the Tsc1-Tsc2 complex [54]."
