The PtdIns3-phosphatase MTMR3 Interacts with MTORC1 and Suppresses Its Activity

Macroautophagy is a major intracellular degradation system. We previously reported that overexpression of phosphatase-deficient MTMR3, a member of the myotubularin phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-phosphatase family, leads to induction of autophagy. In this study, we found that MTMR3 interacted with mTORC1, an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine kinase complex, which regulates cell growth and autophagy in response to environmental stimuli. Furthermore, overexpression of MTMR3 inhibited mTORC1 activity. The N-terminal half of MTMR3, including the PH-G and phosphatase domains, was necessary and sufficient for these effects. Phosphatase-deficient MTMR3 provided more robust suppression of mTORC1 activity than wild-type MTMR3. Furthermore, phosphatase-deficient full length MTMR3 and the phosphatase domain alone were localized to the Golgi. These results suggest a new regulatory mechanism of mTORC1 in association with PI3P.
