AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
Low-frequency RNA-Seq exon junction(s) not annotated.
Gene model reviewed during 5.48
None of the polypeptides share 100% sequence identity.
May be part of a minimal complex, TORC1, consisting of mTor, raptor and lst8. May be part of a minimal complex, TORC2, consisting of mTor, rictor and lst8 (By similarity). Self-associates; assembles into homomultimeric complexes. Component of a multiprotein complex.

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
New stable cell line derived from S2-unspecified : An S2 cell line stably coexpressing mTor-mCherry and GFP-alphaTub84B was generated. S2 cells stably coexpressing GFP-alphaTub84B and mRFP-mad2 were used. GFP-alphaTub84B was obtained from the laboratory of R. Vale.
Tor is specifically required for developmental axon regrowth but not initial axon outgrowth.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene used to treat S2 cells.
Allelic series: TorR248stop = TorQ528stop = TorV2148D > TorG2256D = Tor2L1 > TorR97C = TorE161K = TorA948V = TorW1251R based on the stage of lethality.
Identified in an RNAi screen for host factors that alter infection of SL2 cells by L.monocytogenes.
When dsRNA constructs are made and transiently transfected into S2 cells in RNAi experiments, an increase in the proportion of G1 phase cells, a decrease in cell size and a decrease in cytokinetic index is seen.
Loss of Tor activity causes induction of autophagy in normally fed animals.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.

Changed gene symbol 'Tor' to 'mTor' to reflect the symbol used for the vertebrate ortholog and to eliminate the case-insensitive duplication with the 'tor' (torso) gene symbol.
