Transcribed Image Text:Practice Question 8
- Below are two cell signalling pathways that work together to regulate cell growth, proliferation and
ultimately the size of organs in O.Extremus. In other closely related organisms, dysfunction of these
pathways has been associated with tumor growth.
MTOR pathway:
1. Growth factors bind and stimulate the receptors.
crosstalk
Hippo
Pathway
2. Receptors can activate the phosphatidylinositol
3 kinase (PI3K) – Akt signaling pathway.
MTOR
Pathway
3. The activated Akt, a serine threonine kinase,
inhibits theTSC1-TSC2 complex, allowing Rheb to
activate mTORC1.
Mst
PI3K
PTEN
Lats
АКТ
4. In parallel, amino acids activate the mTORC1
pathway through a mechanism requiring the Rag-
Ragulator complex.
miR-29
YAP
TSC2-TSC1
amino acids
Hippo pathway:
1. The binding of the ligand activates the receptors
which activate Mst and Lats.

Rag-Ragulator
MTORC1
organ size
2. YAP activity is modulated by phosphorylation of
Mst and Lats. YAP upregulates miR-29, which in
turn downregulates PTEN, an inhibitor of PI(3)K
and Akt. So, the two pathways crosstalk and
coordinate cell number and growth.
