Rheb and Rags come together at the lysosome to activate mTORC1
Abstract
mTORC1 (mammalian target of rampamycin complex 1) is a highly conserved protein complex regulating cell growth and metabolism via its kinase mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). The activity of mTOR is under the control of various GTPases, of which Rheb and the Rags play a central role. The presence of amino acids is a strict requirement for mTORC1 activity. The heterodimeric Rag GTPases localize mTORC1 to lysosomes by their amino-acid-dependent interaction with the lysosomal Ragulator complex. Rheb is also thought to reside on lysosomes to activate mTORC1. Rheb is responsive to growth factors, but, in conjunction with PLD1 (phospholipase D1), is also an integral part of the machinery that stimulates mTORC1 in response to amino acids. In the present article, we provide a brief overview of novel mechanisms by which amino acids affect the function of Rags. On the basis of existing literature, we postulate that Rheb is activated at the Golgi from where it will travel to lysosomes. Maturation of endosomes into lysosomes may be required to assure a continuous supply of GTP-bound Rheb for mTORC1 activation, which may help to drive the maturation process.

Recruitment of (m)TORC1 to the lysosome is controlled predominantly in response to signals corresponding to the intracellular nutrient and energy state, whereas its activation once there is controlled by RhebGTP in response to a wide variety of external and survival signals feeding into a single point of control.

The Rag and Rheb GTPases constitute a coincidence detector which cooperate synergistically to robustly induce mTORC1 activity and fail to do so when either is only singly activated under physiologic conditions.
“Together, these GTPases constitute a coincidence detector which cooperate synergistically to robustly induce mTORC1 activity and fail to do so when either is only singly activated under physiologic conditions (Durán and Hall, 2012; Groenewoud and Zwartkruis, 2013).”

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.
