This table includes the C. elegans homologs of genes that encode proteins identified as components, interactors, substrates, or regulators of mTORC1 or mTORC2. They are organized by their putative roles in TOR signaling, although many need further characterization to determine function. “No homolog identified” means no apparent homolog based on ortholog prediction programs (Kim et al. 2018), but it is possible that there is a functional ortholog that is too diverged to identify in this manner. The references listed correspond to the related C. elegans studies. TOR, Target of Rapamycin; TORC, TOR Complex.
