Summary
Predicted to contribute to GTPase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amino acid starvation; negative regulation of TORC1 signaling; and proline transport. Part of GATOR1 complex. Used to study cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial focal epilepsy with variable foci 2. Orthologous to human NPRL2 (NPR2 like, GATOR1 complex subunit).

  • Subunit of the Iml1p/SEACIT complex; SEACIT (Iml1p-Npr2p-Npr3p) is a subcomplex of the SEA complex, a coatomer-related complex that associates dynamically with the vacuole; Npr2p may have a structural or regulatory role, supporting Iml1p function as a GAP for the Rag family GTPase Gtr1p, and resulting in inhibition of TORC1 signaling in response to amino acid deprivation; SEACIT is required for non-nitrogen-starvation-induced autophagy; homolog of human tumor suppressor NPRL2
