Akt Phosphorylates Both Tsc1 and Tsc2 in Drosophila, but Neither Phosphorylation Is Required for Normal Animal Growth

Akt, an essential component of the insulin pathway, is a potent inducer of tissue growth. One of Akt's phosphorylation targets is Tsc2, an inhibitor of the anabolic kinase TOR. This could account for part of Akt's growth promoting activity. Although phosphorylation of Tsc2 by Akt does occu...
