Architecture of the human GATOR1 and GATOR1–Rag GTPases complexes
Open accessAbstract
Nutrients, such as amino acids and glucose, signal through the Rag GTPases to activate mTORC1. The GATOR1 protein complex-comprising DEPDC5, NPRL2 and NPRL3-regulates the Rag GTPases as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for RAGA; loss of GATOR1 desensitizes mTORC1 signalling to nutrient starvation. GATOR1 components have no sequence homology to other proteins, so the function of GATOR1 at the molecular level is currently unknown. Here we used cryo-electron microscopy to solve structures of GATOR1 and GATOR1-Rag GTPases complexes. GATOR1 adopts an extended architecture with a cavity in the middle; NPRL2 links DEPDC5 and NPRL3, and DEPDC5 contacts the Rag GTPase heterodimer. Biochemical analyses reveal that our GATOR1-Rag GTPases structure is inhibitory, and that at least two binding modes must exist between the Rag GTPases and GATOR1. Direct interaction of DEPDC5 with RAGA inhibits GATOR1-mediated stimulation of GTP hydrolysis by RAGA, whereas weaker interactions between the NPRL2-NPRL3 heterodimer and RAGA execute GAP activity. These data reveal the structure of a component of the nutrient-sensing mTORC1 pathway and a non-canonical interaction between a GAP and its substrate GTPase.

“High-resolution structures have also been generated of the complexes that regulate mTORC1 activity, including the TSC complex 158, the Rag GTPases in complex with mTORC1 and Ragulator 159–161, and the binding of leucine by Sestrin2 162.”

“While GATOR2 remains structurally uncharacterised, the structure of the mammalian GATOR1 complex was recently resolved by cryo-EM (Shen et al., 2018), revealing the architecture of each GATOR1 component (Fig. 3A) and the structure of a stable complex with the Rag GTPases (Fig. 3B).”

“GATOR1 is thus presumed to interact with the Rag heterodimer in two ways: the ‘inhibitory’ conformation, captured in the resolved cryo-EM structure, which binds to GTP-bound RagA with higher relative affinity but insufficient to activate GTP hydrolysis, and a lower-affinity interaction dependent on the NPRL2-NPRL3 heterodimer that stimulates GTPase activity.”

“Although the resolution of the cryo-EM structure was insufficient to accurately identify the RagC-bound ligand, it is thought to be GDP as RagC contains a S75N mutation which induces preferential GDP binding (Shen et al., 2018).”

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.
