"While the first phosphorylation event is supposed to activate mTOR by inhibition of the upstream GTPase-activating protein complex TSC1/2, phosphorylation of pRAS40 at T246 leads to its dissociation from the mTORC1 complex and the cessation of its inhibitory activity on mTOR kinase [14, 25]."
reach
"For instance, protein levels of p-P70S6K and p-S6 in the mTOR pathway were shown to be decreased in PRAS40 KO mice (XREF_FIG), but these two proteins were not examined in PRAS40 transfected brains, even though we have shown that PRAS40 vector transfection promoted mTOR activity (XREF_FIG)."
reach
"In fact, the observed decreases in eIF4E and several other proteins necessary for mTOR signaling such as Raptor, PRAS40, cyclin D1, and stearoyl CoA desaturase (SCD) a key enzyme in fatty acid synthesis, suggest reduction in mTOR associated cell proliferation and growth [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."

"XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR Nevertheless, considerable evidence exists to show that insulin can enhance the activation of mTOR via stimulation of 4EBP1 binding to dimeric mTOR complex 1, XREF_BIBR and mediated by the Akt and PKB substrate PRAS40 (proline rich Akt and PKB substrate 40 kDa)."
