FKBP12-rapamycin binding domain of mTOR
FRB domain of mTOR (or 2NPU) is responsible for the binding of the inhibitory cyclic macrolide Rapamycin
Introduction
|
As a member of the phosphatidylinositol kinase-related kinases(PIKK)* the mammalian targert of rapamycin (mTOR)* is a multi domain protein which is involved in the regulation of cell growth and an important target of survival signals. The sequence of 2549 residues is highly conserved across eukaryotes (40-60% precent sequence identity). The protein consists of several functional domains: At the N-terminus there are 12 HEAT* repeats followed by a central FAT* domain (residue 1513 - 1910), a FRB domain (residue 2015 - 2114) a serine-threonine kinase domain (residue 2181 - 2484) and a C-terminal FATC* domain (residue 2515 - 2549). The FKBP12-rapamycin binding (FRB) domain binds the inhibitory cyclic macroloide* rapamycin in complex with the small peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase FKBP12 leading to a decreased activity of the kinase domain. Due to its inhibitory effect rapamycin has been a widely used tool for studying mTOR. FRB is also capable of binding the activator phosphatidic acid* and small molecules, for example amino acids like leucine.
