mTORC1 controls key processes that regulate cell growth, including mRNA translation, ribosome biogenesis and autophagy. Environmental amino acids activate mTORC1 by promoting its recruitment to the cytosolic surface of the lysosome, where its kinase is activated downstream of growth factor signaling. mTORC1 is brought to the lysosome by the Rag GTPases, which are tethered to the lysosomal membrane by Ragulator, a lysosome-bound scaffold. Here, we identify c17orf59 as a Ragulator-interacting protein that regulates mTORC1 activity through its interaction with Ragulator at the lysosome. The binding of c17orf59 to Ragulator prevents Ragulator interaction with the Rag GTPases, both in cells and in vitro, and decreases Rag GTPase lysosomal localization. Disruption of the Rag-Ragulator interaction by c17orf59 impairs mTORC1 activation by amino acids by preventing mTOR from reaching the lysosome. By disrupting the Rag-Ragulator interaction to inhibit mTORC1, c17orf59 expression may represent another mechanism to modulate nutrient sensing by mTORC1. Amino acids induce recruitment of mTORC1 to the lysosomal surface through the Rag GTPases, which are tethered to the lysosomal membrane by Ragulator. c17orf59 interacts with Ragulator, and overexpression disrupts the Rag-Ragulator complex, preventing Rag lysosomal localization and leading to a failure to recruit mTORC1 in the presence of amino acids.
