Techno-organic
A techno-organic virus (T-O virus) is a fictional virus appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. In the comics, the T-O virus transforms organic material into techno-organic material, which resembles both machinery and living tissue. All techno-organic cells function like independent machines and carry both the virus and all information on their carriers, including memories and appearance. In the lore, this allows a damaged techno-organic being to rebuild itself from a single cell. Marvel Universe varieties of this virus include the Transmode Virus carried by the Technarchy and Apocalypse's variant created or discovered by the fictional supervillain Apocalypse. Transmode virus Characteristics The fictional Transmode virus is used by members of the Technarchy in Marvel Comics to turn other beings into techno-organic beings.

Rictor
Rapamycin-insensitive companion of mammalian target of rapamycin (RICTOR) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''RICTOR'' gene. RICTOR and mTOR are components of a protein complex that integrates nutrient- and growth factor-derived signals to regulate cell growth. Structure The gene RICTOR is located on chromosome 5 at 5p13.1 with a sequence length of 5440 bp, oriented on the minus strand. The translated RICTOR protein contains 1709 amino acids and is present in the cytosol. RICTOR contains few conserved regions and function domains of RICTOR have yet to be observed. However, using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis, 21 phosphorylation sites were identified on RICTOR. Of these sites, T1135 has been shown to undergo growth factor-responsive phosphorylation via S6K1. Function RICTOR is a subunit of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 ( mTORC2) which contains mTOR, GβL, RICTOR (this protein) and mSIN1. The mammalian target of rapamyc ...
