Vacuoles provide the source membrane for TORC1-containing signaling endosomes

Organelle biogenesis is fundamental to eukaryotic cell biology. Yeast signaling endosomes were recently identified as a signaling platform for the evolutionarily conserved Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (TORC1) kinase complex. Despite the importance of signaling endosomes for TORC1-mediated control of cellular metabolism, how this organelle is generated has been a mystery. Here, we developed a […]
