    Background

    The mTORC1 kinase complex plays a critical role in cell growth regulation (1, 2). mTORC1 activity is modulated by cellular environmental factors (e.g., energy levels, growth factors, amino acids) (3, 4), which are mediated through a protein complex known as GATOR (GAP Activity Towards Rags) (5). GATOR is comprised of two protein subcomplexes (GATOR1 and GATOR2), that function in opposing fashion to regulate mTORC1 activity (5). WDR59 was identified as a component of the GATOR2 subcomplex (also containing Mios, WDR24, Seh1L and Sec13), that functions to positively regulate mTORC1 activity (5). Conversely, the GATOR1 subcomplex (containing DEPDC5, Nprl2 and Nprl3), negatively regulates mTORC1 activity, through activation of RagA and RagB GTPases (5).
