Deregulation of the Egfr/Ras signaling pathway induces age-related brain degeneration in the Drosophila mutant vap.

abstract：:Eukaryotic cell survival requires maintenance of plasma membrane (PM) homeostasis in response to environmental insults and changes in lipid metabolism. In yeast, a key regulator of PM homeostasis is target of rapamycin (TOR) complex 2 (TORC2), a multiprotein complex containing the evolutionarily conserved TOR protein ...
