Abstract

Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) control the site and extent of GTPase activity. Longin domains (LDs) are found in many Rab-GEFs, including DENNs, MON1/CCZ1, BLOC-3 and the TRAPP complex. Other GEFs, including Ragulator, contain roadblock domains (RDs), the structure of which is closely related to LDs. Other GTPase regulators, including mglB, SRX and Rags, use LDs or RDs as platforms for GTPases. Here, we review the conserved relationship between GTPases and LD/RDs, showing how LD/RD dimers act as adaptable platforms for GTPases. To extend our knowledge of GEFs, we used a highly sensitive sequence alignment tool to predict the existence of new LD/RDs. We discovered two yeast Ragulator subunits, and also a new LD in TRAPPC10 that may explain the Rab11-GEF activity ascribed to TRAPP-II.

  • The Ragulator-Rag complex serves as an extended interaction hub for the nutrient-sensing machinery, including the GAPs GATOR1 and FLCN-FNIP, peripheral lysosomal proteins such as v-ATPase and SLC38A9, and (m)TORC1.

    “Given the notion that roadblock domains, like the structurally similar longin domains, are recurring architectures in GTPase-interacting proteins (Levine et al., 2013) the Ragulator-Rag complex serves as an extended interaction hub for the nutrient-sensing machinery, including the GAPs GATOR1 and FLCN-FNIP, peripheral lysosomal proteins such as v-ATPase and SLC38A9, and (m)TORC1.”

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.
