EGOC inhibits TOROID polymerization by structurally activating TORC1

Abstract

Target Of Rapamycin Complex 1 (TORC1) is a protein kinase controlling cell homeostasis and growth in response to nutrients and stresses. Glucose depletion triggers a pronounced redistribution of TORC1 from a dispersed localisation over the vacuole surface into a large, inactive condensate called a TOROID (TORC1 Organised in Inhibited Domain). However, the molecular mechanisms governing this transition were unclear. Here, we show that acute depletion and repletion of EGO Complex (EGOC) activity is sufficient to control TOROID distribution, independently of other nutrient-signalling pathways. A 3.8 Å-resolution 3D reconstruction of TORC1 from TOROID cryo-EM data together with interrogation of key interactions in vivo provided structural insights into TORC1-TORC1’ and TORC1-EGOC interaction interfaces. These data support a model in which glucose-dependent activation of EGOC triggers binding to TORC1 at an interface required for TOROID assembly, resulting in inhibition of TORC1 polymerisation and release of active TORC1 dimers.

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.
