General description

Selectively inhibits the phosphorylation and activation of p70 S6 kinase (IC50 = 50 pM). Prevents the translational activation of IGF-II. Also prevents resting T-cells from entering the cell cycle, but does not directly arrest cell cycle progression. Shown to inhibit later signaling events, such as p110Rb phosphorylation, p34cdc2 kinase activation, and cyclin A synthesis. Exhibits strong binding to FK-506 binding proteins. Also reported to induce apoptosis in a murine B-cell line, to inhibit lymphokine-induced cell proliferation at the G1 phase, and to irreversibly arrest Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells in the G1 phase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell permeable: no
Primary Target
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)
Product does not compete with ATP.
Reversible: no
Target IC50: 50 pM inhibiting the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and blocking the subsequent activation of p70 S6 kinase

Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) are an abundant population of tissue-resident T cells that protect and maintain the intestinal barrier. IEL respond to epithelial cell-derived IL-15, which is complexed to the IL-15 receptor α chain (IL-15/Rα). IL-15 is essential both for
