[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CAST1_HUMAN CAST1_HUMAN] Functions as an intracellular arginine sensor within the amino acid-sensing branch of the TORC1 signaling pathway (PubMed:26972053, PubMed:27487210, PubMed:33594058). As a homodimer or a heterodimer with CASTOR2, binds and inhibits the GATOR subcomplex GATOR2 and thereby mTORC1 (PubMed:26972053, PubMed:27487210, PubMed:33594058). Binding of arginine to CASTOR1 allosterically disrupts the interaction of CASTOR1-containing dimers with GATOR2 which can in turn activate mTORC1 and the TORC1 signaling pathway (PubMed:26972053, PubMed:27487210, PubMed:33594058).<ref>PMID:26972053</ref> <ref>PMID:27487210</ref> <ref>PMID:33594058</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) is a master regulator of metabolism and cell growth. Among the numerous extracellular and intracellular signals, certain amino acids activate mTORC1 in a Rag-dependent manner. Arginine can stimulate mTORC1 activity by releasing the inhibitor CASTOR1 (Cellular Arginine Sensor of mTORC1) from GATOR2, a positive regulator of mTORC1 which interacts with GATOR1, the GAP for RagA/B. Three groups have resolved the structures of arginine-CASTOR1 complex, shedding a new light on molecular basis of the regulation of mTORC1 activity by arginine. However, lacking the apo structure of CASTOR1 prelimited the molecular understanding of mechanism underlying mTORC1 regulation. Here, we report crystal structures of arginine sensor CASTOR1 in arginine-bound and ligand free states at 2.05A and 2.8A, respectively. Structural comparison of CASTOR1 between two states reveals near identical conformations, except in two loop regions. It indicates CASTOR1 does not undergo large conformational change during arginine binding. Therefore, we conclude a detailed structural interpretation of arginine sensing by CASTOR1 in mTORC1 pathway.
