Résumé

The Target of Ramapycin (TOR) pathway controls cell growth in response to environmental stresses and nutrient availability. Mammalian TOR (mTOR) is implicated in several disorders, including cancer, obesity and diabetes. A better understanding of TOR may allow novel strategies in the treatment for mTOR-related diseases. In the present work we aimed to find new players in the TOR signaling pathways in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have produced a high quality, whole genome sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae TB50, a strain used in our lab with a specific rapamycin-sensitive phenotype that makes it a perfect tool to study TOR signaling in yeast. Variant analysis and pooled-linkage analysis allowed us to pinpoint the causative variant responsible for this phenotype, a single missense mutation in the gene MKT1. Additionally, state-of-the-art quantitative phosphoproteomics with an allosteric inhibitor of TOR, rapamycin, and an ATP-competitive inhibitor, CMB4563, identified several potential TOR targets containing rapamycin-insensitive phosphosites.
