Transcriptional regulations downstream of mTOR complexes. The essential regulation of crucial transcription factors downstream of mTORC1 and mTORC2 are shown employing the observations made with distinct knockout mice. mTORC1 regulates the expression of Eomes and thereby the early developmental stages of NK cells. mTORC2 regulates the reciprocal repressive activity between FoxO1 and T-bet. FoxO1 represses the expression of T-bet, thereby maintaining the immature gene signature. T-bet suppresses the expression of FoxO1 to make the NK cells progress to the terminally mature NK cell stage.
