Preferred Names: Avo1p

NP_014563.1

Subunit of TORC2, a regulator of plasma membrane (PM) homeostasis; C-terminal PH domain binds to phosphoinositide-(4,5)-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2); binds directly to Ypk2p a Tor2p substrate and downstream TORC2 effector through a conserved central CRIM domain; acts with Tsc11p as a scaffold important for the integrity of the TORC2 complex; dispensable for PM localization of TORC2; role in regulating actin organization and growth control; orthologous to human MAPKAP1/SIN1
