4E-binding protein THOR; Thor (Thor) encodes a eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein that is controlled by the product of tor. It contributes to translation regulation, response to environmental stress and cell growth regulation.

GTP-binding protein Rheb homolog; Binds GTP and exhibits intrinsic GTPase activity (By similarity). Activates the protein kinase activity of TORC1, and thereby plays a role in the regulation of apoptosis. Stimulates the phosphorylation of S6K through activation of TORC1 signaling. May also have a role in activating TORC2 signaling.

Ras-related GTP binding A/B (RagA-B) encodes a Ras family GTPase that forms a heterodimer with the product of RagC-D. The heterodimer localizes on the lysosome surface and functions to relay amino acid signals to activate the product of Tor by recruiting it to the lysosome.

Protein heterodimerization activity; GTP binding; GTPase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: regulation of autophagy; positive regulation of TOR signaling; cellular response to starvation; positive regulation of TORC1 signaling; cellular response to amino acid stimulus.

Ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6k) encodes an important component of the target of rapamycin pathway. It is involved in the control of synapse development, autophagy and cell size.

Serine/threonine-protein kinase Tor; Promotes cell and tissue growth, maintains tissue homeostatis and controls responses to environmental stress and aging. Regulates growth during animal development by coupling growth factor signaling to nutrient availability. Central regulators of autophagy. May be involved in atg1 phosphorylation. May also be involved, directly or indirectly, in the control of neuronal function. Phosphorylates S6K/p70S6K, in vitro. May regulate the activity of S6K. Overexpression inhibits growth and reduces cell size. Affects the timing of neuronal cell differentiat [...]

Proline-rich Akt substrate 40 kDa (PRAS40) encodes a protein that functions to link Insulin/IGF signaling and the activation of the product of Tor in a tissue-specific manner, affecting the activity of the product of Tor in the ovary but not in other fly tissues.

Rapamycin-insensitive companion of Tor (rictor) encodes an essential component of TOR complex 2 where it controls phosphorylation of protein kinases, such as those encoded by Akt1 and trc. The product of rictor contributes to the regulation of tissue growth, dendritic tiling, long term memory, tolerance to heat stress, and mitochondrial quality control.

RAC serine/threonine-protein kinase; Serine/threonine kinase involved in various developmental processes. During early embryogenesis, acts as a survival protein. During mid-embryogenesis, phosphorylates and activates trh, a transcription factor required for tracheal cell fate determination. Also regulates tracheal cell migration. Later in development, acts downstream of PI3K and Pk61C/PDK1 in the insulin receptor transduction pathway which regulates cell growth and organ size, by phosphorylating and antagonizing FOXO transcription factor. Controls follicle cell size during oogenesis. M [...]
