Abstract

Amino acids stimulate cell growth and suppress autophagy through activation of mTORC1. The activation of mTORC1 by amino acids is mediated by Rag guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) heterodimers on the lysosome. The molecular mechanism by which amino acids regulate the Rag GTPase heterodimers remains to be elucidated. Here, we identify SH3 domain-binding protein 4 (SH3BP4) as a binding protein and a negative regulator of Rag GTPase complex. SH3BP4 binds to the inactive Rag GTPase complex through its Src homology 3 (SH3) domain under conditions of amino acid starvation and inhibits the formation of active Rag GTPase complex. As a consequence, the binding abrogates the interaction of mTORC1 with Rag GTPase complex and the recruitment of mTORC1 to the lysosome, thus inhibiting amino acid-induced mTORC1 activation and cell growth and promoting autophagy. These results demonstrate that SH3BP4 is a negative regulator of the Rag GTPase complex and amino acid-dependent mTORC1 signaling.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
