Editor’s summary
RTKB2 kinase from the unicellular choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis demonstrates regulatory functions as complex as those performed by mammalian receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), showing that complex signal transduction circuitry predates the evolution of metazoans.

Editor’s summary
Akt/mTORC1 signalling via SREBP was shown to coordinate lipid and protein biosynthesis in both normal and cancer cells, while ablation of this pathway caused ER stress, apoptosis and cell death and prevented tumor growth in a mouse model.
