The mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway coordinates nutrient signals with growth factor dependent signaling. mTOR is organized in two independent protein complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. The mTORC1 complex containing mTOR, GβL/mLST8 and Raptor is sensitive to rapamycin, while the mTORC2 complex containing mTOR, GβL/mLST8, SIN1, and Rictor is rapamycin insensitive. The mTOR/Rictor complex phosphorylates numerous substrates associated with regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, and is also responsible for phosphorylation of Akt/PKB at Ser473, a critical step in Akt activation.

The opioid receptors δ, κ, and μ are members of the seven-transmembrane domain-containing receptor family of G-protein coupled receptors. δ- and μ-receptors serve as functional receptors for endogenous enkephalin and β-endorphin peptide ligands, respectively. δ-opioid receptors are highly expressed in the olfactory bulb, neocortex, caudate putamen and nucleus accumbens, with peripheral expression in the gastro-intestinal tract and vas deferens. δ-receptors inhibit neurotransmitter release resulting in a variety of biological effects including analgesia, motor integration, gastro-intestinal motility, olfaction, respiration, and memory. Neural μ-receptor expression is prominent in the caudate putamen, neocortex, thalamus, nucleus accumbens, hippocampus, and amygdala, as well as in peripheral nervous tissues in the gut. Named for its pharmacological mediation of analgesia by morphine, the μ receptor typically functions as a depressant in physiological processes including respiration, cardiovascular function, gastrointestinal motility, and thermoregulation.

The TLRs (Toll-like receptors) are a group of evolutionarily conserved pattern recognition molecules that play a key role in host defense during microbial infection by regulating both innate and adaptive immune responses. TLRs are type I transmembrane proteins with ectodomains containing interspersed leucine-rich repeat (LRR) motifs that are involved in the recognition of various microbial ligands.

The DNA damage checkpoint is a signal transduction pathway that has the ability to delay entry into mitosis. When DNA is damaged, the Check point kinases (CHKs) are known to act downstream of ATM to elicit appropriate responses such as cell cycle arrest. Chk1, for instance, is activated by ATM phosphorylation of serines 123, 178, 278, and 292 of the S phase-promoting cdc25A phosphatase and accelerates IR (ionizing radiation)induced degradation of cdc25A.

Acetylation and methylation of lysine are important post-translational modifications that regulate numerous protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions. Lysine acetylation and methylation involves the transfer of acetylCoA, or one or more methyl groups, to the e-amino group of lysine by modifying enzymes and cofactors. Histones and transcription factors are the primary targets of lysine acetylation and methylation, with either modification capable of inducing gene silencing or expression due to differential regulation of cofactors. For example, varying degrees of mono-, di-, and tri-methylation or acetylation of histone H3 at lysine residue 9 are known to demark distinct chromatin regions during various states of gene activation (methylation) or repression (acetylation).

Researchers cloned DJ-1 protein, consisting of 189 amino acids, from a HeLa cell cDNA library as a oncogene which weakly transformed NIH3T3 cells. Cotransfection with ras or c-myc enhances transformation by DJ-11. DJ-1 expression is induced by growth signals, and it is translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus during the S phase without the presence of any nuclear localization signals. In addition to its potential involvement in ras-mediated signal transduction pathways, DJ-1 is known to regulate transcription of androgen-responsive genes, and is sensitive to oxidative stress. DJ-1 is ubiquitously expressed in various human tissues including the brain, with high expression in astrocytes of the frontal cortex and substantia nigra. Homozygous mutations in the DJ-1 gene have been shown to cause early-onset autosomal recessive Parkinson’s disease.

Nucleolin (identical to human DNA helicase IV) is an abundant, non-ribosomal protein of the nucleolus involved in the organization of nuclear chromatin, rDNA transcription, packaging of pre-RNA, ribosome assembly, nucleocytoplasmic transport, cytokinesis, nucleogenesis, and apoptosis. A predominantly nuclear protein, the presence of nucleolin at the surface of cancer cells suggests that it could be valuable as a marker for the diagnosis of cancer.

The caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that cleave after certain aspartate residues, and are primarily recognized as mediators of apoptosis. caspases are synthesized as inactive zymogens that can be cleaved to form active enzymes following the induction of apoptosis by stress or death receptors. Initiator caspases (e.g. caspase-8 and -10) are activated by dimerization of the zymogen on a dedicated adaptor protein. These activated initiator caspases in-turn cleave downstream effector or executioner caspases (e.g. caspase-3, -6, and -7) in a cascade-like manner, which cleave key cellular proteins that lead to the morphological changes associated with apoptotic cell death.
