DESCRIPTION

Also known as RRAGA_HUMAN, RRAGA. Guanine nucleotide-binding protein that plays a crucial role in the cellular response to amino acid availability through regulation of the mTORC1 signaling cascade (PubMed:20381137, PubMed:24095279, PubMed:25936802). Forms heterodimeric Rag complexes with RRAGC or RRAGD and cycles between an inactive GDP-bound and an active GTP-bound form (PubMed:20381137, PubMed:24095279, PubMed:25936802). In its active form participates in the relocalization of mTORC1 to the lysosomes and its subsequent activation by the GTPase RHEB (PubMed:20381137, PubMed:25936802). Involved in the RCC1/Ran-GTPase pathway (PubMed:9394008). May play a direct role in a TNF-alpha signaling pathway leading to induction of cell death (PubMed:8995684)., (Microbial infection) May alternatively act as a cellular target for adenovirus E3-14.7K, an inhibitor of TNF-alpha functions, thereby affecting cell death. Can occur as a homodimer or as a heterodimer with RRAGC or RRAGD in a sequence-independent manner; heterodimerization stabilizes proteins of the heterodimer (PubMed:11073942, PubMed:20381137). In complex with RRAGC, but not with RRAGB, interacts with RPTOR (PubMed:18497260). The GTP-bound form of RRAGA interacts with NOL8 (PubMed:14660641). Component of the lysosomal folliculin complex (LFC), composed of FLCN, FNIP1 (or FNIP2), RRAGA/RagA or RRAGB/RagB GDP-bound, RRAGC/RagC or RRAGD/RagD GTP-bound, and Ragulator (PubMed:31704029, PubMed:31672913). Interacts with SH3BP4; the interaction with this negative regulator is most probably direct, preferentially occurs with the inactive GDP-bound form of RRAGA and is negatively regulated by amino acids (PubMed:22575674). The Rag heterodimer interacts with SLC38A9; the probable amino acid sensor (PubMed:25561175, PubMed:25567906). Interacts (inactive GDP-bound form) with RNF152; stimulated by amino acid starvation (PubMed:25936802). Interacts (polyubiquitinated) with the GATOR1 complex; inactivates RRAGA (PubMed:25936802). Interacts (polyubiquitinated) with TSC2 (PubMed:25936802). Interacts with SESN1, SESN2 and SESN3 (PubMed:25259925). Interacts with PIP4P1 (By similarity). Interacts with GPR137B (PubMed:31036939).
