Topic: Rheb


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Rheb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rheb, in molecular biology, is a protein, a recently discovered member of the Ras superfamily that may be involved in neural plasticity.
This function is novel and not typically associated with the Ras proteins.
The name Rheb is short for Ras homolog enriched in brain.

 Rheb
Overexpression of Rheb in the developing fly causes dramatic overgrowth of multiple tissues: in the wing, this is due to an increase in cell size; in cultured cells, Rheb overexpression results in accumulation of cells in S phase and an increase in cell size.
Rheb is required in the whole organism for viability (growth) and for the growth of individual cells.
Consistent with this interpretation, flies with reduced Rheb activity are hypersensitive to rapamycin, an inhibitor of the growth regulator target of rapamycin (TOR), a kinase required for growth factor-dependent phosphorylation of ribosomal S6 kinase (S6K).

 Rheb
Rheb is unique, compared with many small GTPases, in that it exists in a highly activated state in mammalian cells.
Studies of mammalian Rheb further implicated the existence of a Rheb-GAP that is normally present at relatively limiting concentrations, since overexpression of Rheb results in a progressive increase in the proportion of Rheb in the active GTP-bound state.
Tsc and Rheb could either function as obligatory components between amino acids and TOR in a linear amino-acid sensing pathway, or in a parallel pathway that converges on TOR.

These and recent observations from other labs (3, 4) indicate that an essential function of insulin/PI3K signaling is to coordinate cellular metabolism with the availability of dietary protein.
Like the insulin receptor (InR) or PI3K, Rheb is required for cell growth and, when overexpressed, it can drive cell growth and DNA replication in starved larvae.
We have suggested that Rheb may stimulate cell growth and activate TOR by stimulating nutrient import, and will present data pertaining to this issue.
