Abstract

Proliferation Control: The protein complex mTORC1, which contains the protein kinase known as mammalian target of rapamycin, is an important regulator of cell proliferation and cell size. Among many targets, mTORC1 phosphorylates the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E–binding proteins (4E-BPs), thus controlling translation of proteins that regulate proliferation. Dowling et al. (p. 1172 ) used mice lacking expression of the 4E-BPs to show that these proteins contribute to mTORC1's activation of cell proliferation, but are dispensable for the effects of mTORC1 on cell growth. The latter required another mTORC1 target—the ribosomal protein S6 kinase. mTORC1 inhibitors are being explored as potential anticancer agents, and the presence of 4E-BPs was necessary for mTORC1 inhibitors to reduce the number and size of colonies formed by transformed mouse cells.

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.
