"We also observed that overexpression of FIP200 alone increased S6K phosphorylation, possibly through its interaction with the endogenous TSC1 and TSC2 complex (XREF_FIG A, compare lanes 1 and 2)."

reach
"Similarly, expression of FIP200 reversed inhibition of endogenous S6K phosphorylation by overexpression of the TSC1 and TSC2 complex (XREF_FIG B, left) and expression of FIP200 alone also increased endogenous S6K phosphorylation (XREF_FIG B, right)."

reach
"Furthermore, we found that overexpression of FIP200 N1-859, but not N1-638, fragment also increased S6K phosphorylation and reversed inhibition of S6K phosphorylation by the TSC1 and TSC2 complex when coexpressed with TSC1 and TSC2 (XREF_FIG C)."

reach
