Query author contributions in Reactome
Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.
If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

| comment | FUNCTION Lysosomal amino acid transporter involved in the activation of mTORC1 in response to amino acid levels (PubMed:25561175, PubMed:25567906, PubMed:29053970). Probably acts as an amino acid sensor of the Rag GTPases and Ragulator complexes, 2 complexes involved in amino acid sensing and activation of mTORC1, a signaling complex promoting cell growth in response to growth factors, energy levels, and amino acids (PubMed:25567906, PubMed:29053970). Following activation by amino acids, the Ragulator and Rag GTPases function as a scaffold recruiting mTORC1 to lysosomes where it is in turn activated (PubMed:25561175, PubMed:25567906). SLC38A9 mediates transport of amino acids with low capacity and specificity with a slight preference for polar amino acids (PubMed:25561175, PubMed:25567906). Acts as an arginine sensor (PubMed:25567906, PubMed:29053970, PubMed:31295473). Following activation by arginine binding, mediates transport of L-glutamine, leucine and tyrosine with high efficiency, and is required for the efficient utilization of these amino acids after lysosomal protein degradation (PubMed:29053970, PubMed:31295473). However, the transport mechanism is not well defined and the role of sodium is not clear (PubMed:25561175, PubMed:31295473). Can disassemble the lysosomal folliculin complex (LFC), and thereby triggers GAP activity of FLCN:FNIP2 toward RRAGC (PubMed:32868926). Acts as an cholesterol sensor that conveys increases in lysosomal cholesterol, leading to lysosomal recruitment and activation of mTORC1 via the Rag GTPases (PubMed:28336668). Guanine exchange factor (GEF) that, upon arginine binding, stimulates GDP release from RRAGA and therefore activates the Rag GTPase heterodimer and the mTORC1 pathway in response to nutrient sufficiency (PubMed:30181260).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-leucine(in) = L-leucine(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-tyrosine(in) = L-tyrosine(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-glutamine(out) = L-glutamine(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-asparagine(out) = L-asparagine(in)ACTIVITY REGULATION Amino acid transport activity is increased by sodium and is most active at acidic pH (PubMed:25561175, PubMed:31295473). Transport of L-glutamine, leucine and tyrosine is increased by arginine binding (PubMed:29053970, PubMed:31295473).BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES Associated component of the Ragulator complex (composed of LAMTOR1, LAMTOR2, LAMTOR3, LAMTOR4 and LAMTOR5) (PubMed:25561175, PubMed:25567906, PubMed:28336668, PubMed:29053970, PubMed:32868926). Associated component of the Rag GTPases heterodimers (composed of RRAGA, RRAGB, RRAGC and RRAGD); this interaction is independent of the Ragulator complex but depends on the nucleotide loading state of the Rag GTPase heterodimer (PubMed:25561175, PubMed:25567906, PubMed:28336668, PubMed:29053970, PubMed:30181260, PubMed:32868926). Interacts with TM4SF5 (PubMed:30956113). Interacts with NPC1; this interaction inhibits cholesterol-mediated mTORC1 activation via its sterol transport activity (PubMed:28336668).INTERACTION The cytosolic N-terminus part of the protein mediates interaction with the Ragulator complex (PubMed:25561175, PubMed:25567906). The cytosolic N-terminus part of the protein destabilizes the LFC and thereby triggers GAP activity of FLCN:FNIP2 toward RRAGC (PubMed:32868926). The cytosolic N-terminus part of the protein mediates interaction with the Rag GTPase heterodimer in a RRAGA GDP-loaded state dependent and upon arginine binding, leading to the GDP release and SLC38A9 dissociation from the activated Rag GTPase heterodimer (PubMed:25561175, PubMed:25567906, PubMed:30181260). The cytosolic N-terminus part of the protein exists at least in two distinct conformations; The first is when the N-terminus is bound snugly in the arginine binding site (in the absence of arginine, low luminal arginine state) and the second is where the N-terminus is released and the substrate-binding site is occupied by arginine (in the presence of arginine, high luminal arginine state) (By similarity).DOMAIN The CARC and CRAC motifs mediate binding to cholesterol.PTM Glycosylated.SIMILARITY Belongs to the amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family. SLC38A9 subfamily.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus. |
