Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Ablation of RBX1 diminishes amino acid-induced mTORC1 activation in EMSCs. Three gRNAs designed to target distinct exon regions of RBX1 were used. Cells were starved in amino acid-deprived medium for 50 min and treated with 1× amino acids for 10 min. gRNA targeting GFP was used as a control. Note that RBX1–3 gRNA failed to ablate RBX1. (B) Ablation of RBX1, but not RBX2, diminishes amino acid-induced mTORC1 activation in EMSCs. Cells were treated as in (A). Levels of phosphorylated S6K1 in the indicated cells (amino acid-replete conditions) were quantified and expressed as the ratio of pS6K/S6K1. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, mean ± SD, n = 4. (C) Ablation of RBX1 diminishes CQ/MG-induced mTORC1 activation in Ragulator-deficient cells. RBX1 is ablated in p18/LAMTOR1 knockout (KO) EMSCs. Cells were treated with CQ (50 μM) or/and MG (20 μM) in amino acid-free medium for 45 min. (D) Ablation of RBX1 diminishes Rheb ubiquitination. RBX1 KO EMSCs were lysed under amino acid-replete conditions in RIPA buffer containing the deubiquitinase inhibitor (100 mM) N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). The lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE, and levels of Rheb and Ub-Rheb were monitored with a Rheb antibody. Non-Ub-Rheb and Ub-Rheb are indicated. (E) MLN4924 specifically inhibits mTORC1 activity induced by amino acids in EMSCs. Cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of MLN4924 for 16 h. Cells were amino acid starved for 50 min and re-stimulated with 1× amino acids for 10 min. Levels of phosphorylated S6K1 in the indicated cells (amino acid-replete conditions) were quantified and expressed as the ratio of pS6K/S6K1. **** p < 0.0001, mean ± SD, n = 4. (F) MLN4924 inhibits mTORC1 activity induced by amino acids in both control and DEPDC5 KO HEK293T cells. Cells were treated with MLN4924 (1 μM) as in (E). Cells were amino acid starved for 50 min and re-stimulated with 1× amino acids for 10 min. The effect of DEPDC5 ablation was confirmed by the high levels of mTORC1 activity resistant to amino acid starvation. (G) MLN4924 diminishes levels of Ub-Rheb in HEK293T cells. Cells were treated with MLN4924 (1 μM) for 16 h and lysed as in (D), and the lysates were subjected to immunoblotting with a Rheb antibody.
