ABSTRACT
The large Ser/Thr protein kinase mTOR signals through two physically distinct multipro- tein complexes called mTOR complexes 1 and 2(mTORC1 and mTORC2). The mTORC1 pathway integrates inputs from nutrients and growth factors for protein synthesis, autophagy, cell growth and proliferation. Dietary restriction delays ageing and extends life span in diverse species including yeast, worm, fly, and mammals such as mouse and monkey. Because in- cidences of many diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease and dementia rise rapidly with age, interventions that delay ageing would greatly benefit health. It has become apparent in recent years that the nutrient sensing mTOR pathways are well con- served among such various species and important regulators of ageing and longevity.
