PMID:  18614042     Owner:  NLM     Status:  MEDLINE    
Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In a recent issue of Molecular Cell, Hong et al. (2008) describe an alternative mechanism by which mTOR promotes cell-cycle progression; it phosphorylates and activates SGK, which in turn phosphorylates the cell-cycle inhibitor p27, promoting its cytoplasmic retention.
