Abstract

In this issue of Cell, the Hall group describes how the rapamycin-sensitive TOR signaling network controls ribosomal protein (RP) gene expression via the Forkhead-like transcription factor FHL1 in budding yeast (Martin et al., 2004). These findings represent a crucial advance in our understanding of the mechanism by which TOR regulates ribosome biogenesis in response to environmental cues.
