Mammalian TOR: a homeostatic ATP sensor

Dennis, Patrick B., Jaeschke, Anja, Saitoh, Masao, Fowler, Brian, Kozma, Sara C., Thomas, George·2001·Science

Abstract

The bacterial macrolide rapamycin is an efficacious anticancer agent against solid tumors. In a hypoxic environment, the increase in mass of solid tumors is dependent on the recruitment of mitogens and nutrients. When nutrient concentrations change, particularly those of essential amino acids, the mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) functions in regulatory pathways that control ribosome biogenesis and cell growth. In bacteria, ribosome biogenesis is independently regulated by amino acids and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Here we demonstrate that the mTOR pathway is influenced by the intracellular concentration of ATP, independent of the abundance of amino acids, and that mTOR itself is an ATP sensor.

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • It is premature to attribute the beneficial effect observed with rapamycin treatment to the stimulatory effect of this drug on macroautophagy, because inhibition of mTOR should also affect other cellular functions.

    “it is premature to attribute the beneficial effect observed with the rapamycin treatment to the stimulatory effect of this drug on macroautophagy, because inhibition of this major cellular kinase should also affect other cellular functions such as mRNA translation, ribosome biogenesis, angiogenesis, mitochondrial metabolism, adipogenesis and cellular growth (Dennis et al., 2001)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
