Biological Properties
General FunctionInvolved in protein binding
Specific FunctionEssential component of both TORC1 and TORC2. TORC1 regulates multiple cellular processes to control cell growth in response to environmental signals. Nutrient limitation and environmental stress signals cause inactivation of TORC1. Active TORC1 positively controls ribosome biogenesis via control of rRNA, ribosomal protein and tRNA gene expression, and rRNA processing. TORC1 positively controls protein biosynthesis by regulation of mRNA stability, translation initiation factor activity, and high- affinity amino acid permeases that serve to provide amino acids for use by the translation machinery. TORC1 also promotes growth by sequestering a number of nutrient and general stress-responsive transcription factors in the cytoplasm. TORC1 negatively controls macroautophagy, a process to recycle surplus cytoplasmic mass under nutrient starvation conditions. LST8 is involved in the negative regulation of transcription factors GLN3 and RTG1-RTG3, limiting the synthesis of alpha-ketoglutarate, glutamate and glutamine. LST8 is required for targeting of amino acid permeases (AAPs) to the plasma membrane. TORC2 regulates cell cycle- dependent polarization of the actin-cytoskeleton, cell wall integrity, and receptor endocytosis. TORC2 controls polarity of the actin cytoskeleton, which is required for orienting the secretory pathway toward discrete growth sites, via the RHO1/PKC1/MAPK cell integrity pathway. LST8 is involved in maintenance of cell wall integrity. LST8 modulates TOR2 kinase activity
