TORC1 is a central regulator of cell growth in response to amino acids. The role of the evolutionarily conserved Gtr/Rag pathway in the regulation of TORC1 is well-established. Recent genetic studies suggest that an additional regulatory pathway, depending on the activity of Pib2, plays a role in TORC1 activation independently of the Gtr/Rag pathway. However, the interplay between the Pib2 pathway and the Gtr/Rag pathway remains unclear. In this study, we show that Pib2 and Gtr/Ego form distinct complexes with TORC1 in a mutually exclusive manner, implying dedicated functional relationships between TORC1 and Pib2 or Gtr/Rag in response to specific amino acids. Furthermore, simultaneous depletion of Pib2 and the Gtr/Ego system abolishes TORC1 activity and completely compromises the vacuolar localization of TORC1. Thus, the amino acid-dependent activation of TORC1 is achieved through the Pib2 and Gtr/Ego pathways alone. Finally, we show that glutamine induces a dose-dependent increase in Pib2-TORC1 complex formation, and that glutamine binds directly to the Pib2 complex. These data provide strong preliminary evidence for Pib2 functioning as a putative glutamine sensor in the regulation of TORC1. TORC1 is a central regulator of cell growth in response to amino acids. The evolutionarily conserved Gtr/Rag pathway is a well-established TORC1 regulatory pathway. In this study, we show that two molecular machineries, Pib2 and Gtr/Ego, form distinct complexes with TORC1 in a mutually exclusive manner, implying an exclusive functional relationship between TORC1 and Pib2 or Gtr/Rag in response to various amino acids. We also show that the amino acid-dependent activation of TORC1 is achieved through the Pib2 and Gtr/Ego pathways by anchoring them to the vacuolar membrane. Finally, we show that glutamine binds directly to the Pib2 complex and that glutamine enhances Pib2-TORC1 complex formation. Collectively we provide evidence supporting a role for Pib2 as an element of a putative glutamine sensor.
