Abstract | Small GTPases act as molecular switches and control numerous cellular processes by their binding and hydrolysis of guanosine triphosphate (GTP). The activity of small GTPases is coordinated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and GTPase activating proteins (GAPs). Recent structural and functional studies have characterized a subset of GAPs whose catalytic units consist of longin domains. Longin domain containing GAPs regulate small GTPases that facilitate nutrient signalling, autophagy, vesicular trafficking and lysosome homeostasis. All known examples in this GAP family function as part of larger multiprotein complexes. The three characterized mammalian protein complexes in this class are FLCN:FNIP, GATOR1 and C9orf72:SMCR8. Each complex carries out a unique cellular function by regulating distinct small GTPases. In this article, we explore the roles of longin domain GAPs in nutrient sensing, membrane dynamic, vesicular trafficking and disease. Through a structural lens, we examine the mechanism of each longin domain GAP and highlight potential therapeutic applications. |
