The TOR (target of rapamycin) pathway
controls cell growth in response to nutrient availability in eukaryotic
cells. Inactivation of TOR function by rapamycin or nutrient exhaustion
is accompanied by triggering various cellular mechanisms aimed at
overcoming the nutrient stress. Here we report that in
Saccharomyces cerevisiae the protein kinase C
(PKC)-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway is
regulated by TOR function because upon specific Tor1 and Tor2
inhibition by rapamycin, Mpk1 is activated rapidly in a process
mediated by Sit4 and Tap42. Osmotic stabilization of the plasma
membrane prevents both Mpk1 activation by rapamycin and the growth
defect that occurs upon the simultaneous absence of Tor1 and Mpk1
function, suggesting that, at least partially, TOR inhibition is sensed
by the PKC pathway at the cell envelope. This process involves
activation of cell surface sensors, Rom2, and downstream elements
of the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade. Rapamycin also
induces depolarization of the actin cytoskeleton through the TOR
proteins, Sit4 and Tap42, in an osmotically suppressible manner.
Finally, we show that entry into stationary phase, a physiological situation of nutrient depletion, also leads to the activation of the
PKC pathway, and we provide further evidence demonstrating that Mpk1 is
essential for viability once cells enter G0.
