Function
WDR59_HUMAN As a component of the GATOR2 complex, functions as an activator of the amino acid-sensing branch of the mTORC1 signaling pathway (PubMed:23723238, PubMed:25457612, PubMed:27487210, PubMed:35831510, PubMed:36528027, PubMed:36577058). The GATOR2 complex indirectly activates mTORC1 through the inhibition of the GATOR1 subcomplex (PubMed:23723238, PubMed:27487210, PubMed:35831510, PubMed:36528027). GATOR2 probably acts as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase toward GATOR1 (PubMed:36528027). In the presence of abundant amino acids, the GATOR2 complex mediates ubiquitination of the NPRL2 core component of the GATOR1 complex, leading to GATOR1 inactivation (PubMed:36528027). In the absence of amino acids, GATOR2 is inhibited, activating the GATOR1 complex (PubMed:25457612, PubMed:27487210).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
