The PtdIns3‐phosphatase MTMR3 interacts with mTORC1 and suppresses its activity

چکیده
Macroautophagy is a major intracellular degradation system. We previously reported that overexpression of phosphatase-deficient MTMR3, a member of the myotubularin phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-phosphatase family, leads to induction of autophagy. In this study, we found that MTMR3 interacted with mTORC1, an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine kinase complex, which regulates cell growth and autophagy in response to environmental stimuli. Furthermore, overexpression of MTMR3 inhibited mTORC1 activity. The N-terminal half of MTMR3, including the PH-G and phosphatase domains, was necessary and sufficient for these effects. Phosphatase-deficient MTMR3 provided more robust suppression of mTORC1 activity than wild-type MTMR3. Furthermore, phosphatase-deficient full length MTMR3 and the phosphatase domain alone were localized to the Golgi. These results suggest a new regulatory mechanism of mTORC1 in association with PI3P.

KIAA1524/CIP2A promotes cancer growth by coordinating the activities of MTORC1 and MYC
KIAA1524/CIP2A/cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A is a cancer-promoting protein that stabilizes the MYC proto-oncogene protein by inhibiting its dephosphorylation. Our recent report demonstrates that KIAA1524/CIP2A supports cancer cell growth also at the level of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (MTORC1), a key signaling module that drives cell growth by stimulating prot...
متن کاملThe E3 ubiquitin ligase ZNRF2 is a substrate of mTORC1 and regulates its activation by amino acids
The mechanistic Target of Rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) senses intracellular amino acid levels through an intricate machinery, which includes the Rag GTPases, Ragulator and vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase). The membrane-associated E3 ubiquitin ligase ZNRF2 is released into the cytosol upon its phosphorylation by Akt. In this study, we show that ZNRF2 interacts with mTOR on membranes, promoting the ami...
متن کاملAnalysis of phosphoinositide binding domain properties within the myotubularin-related protein MTMR3.
The myotubularins are a large family of phosphoinositide-specific phosphatases with substrate specificity for PtdIns3P and PtdIns(3,5)P(2). In addition to an N-terminal PH-GRAM (PH-G) domain and a signature catalytic domain shared with other family members, MTMR3 contains a C-terminal FYVE domain. We show that the FYVE domain of MTMR3 is atypical in that it neither confers endosomal localisatio...
متن کاملRegulation of autophagy by coordinated action of mTORC1 and protein phosphatase 2A
Autophagy is a cellular catabolic process critical for cell viability and homoeostasis. Inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex-1 (mTORC1) activates autophagy. A puzzling observation is that amino acid starvation triggers more rapid autophagy than pharmacological inhibition of mTORC1, although they both block mTORC1 activity with similar kinetics. Here we find that in additio...
متن کاملA Tumor suppressor complex with GAP activity for the Rag GTPases that signal amino acid sufficiency to mTORC1.
The mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway promotes cell growth in response to many cues, including amino acids, which act through the Rag guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) to promote mTORC1 translocation to the lysosomal surface, its site of activation. Although progress has been made in identifying positive regulators of the Rags, it is unknown if negative factors also exist. Here, we identify GAT...
