“…The mTOR protein kinase is found in two distinct protein complexes; mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) integrates numerous environmental and hormonal cues, including the availability of amino acids (Wolfson & Sabatini, ), to regulate key anabolic processes including ribosomal biogenesis, protein translation, and autophagy, while mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2) plays a role in cytoskeletal organization and is a key effector of insulin/PI3K signaling (Kennedy & Lamming, ; Zhou & Huang, ). The pharmaceutical rapamycin, which acutely and robustly inhibits mTORC1, extends the lifespan in organisms including yeast, worms, flies, and mice, even when begun late in life or when treatment is intermittent (Apelo, Pumper, Baar, Cummings, & Lamming, ; Arriola Apelo & Lamming, ; Bitto et al, ; Bjedov et al, ; Dumas & Lamming, ; Hansen et al, ; Harrison et al, ; Kapahi et al, ; Miller et al, ; Powers, Kaeberlein, Caldwell, Kennedy, & Fields, ; Robida‐Stubbs et al, ; Selman et al, ).…”
