Summary
RRAGA (Ras related GTP binding A, HGNC:16963) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 9p22.1, encoding Ras-related GTP-binding protein A (Q7L523). Guanine nucleotide-binding protein that plays a crucial role in the cellular response to amino acid availability through regulation of the mTORC1 signaling cascade. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 27.9% of cell lines).
Enables several functions, including GTP binding activity; protein dimerization activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amino acid starvation; positive regulation of TORC1 signaling; and tumor necrosis factor-mediated signaling pathway. Located in GATOR1 complex; lysosome; and nucleoplasm. Part of FNIP-folliculin RagC/D GAP. Is active in lysosomal membrane.

Function. Guanine nucleotide-binding protein that plays a crucial role in the cellular response to amino acid availability through regulation of the mTORC1 signaling cascade. Forms heterodimeric Rag complexes with RagC/RRAGC or RagD/RRAGD and cycles between an inactive GDP-bound and an active GTP-bound form: RagA/RRAGA is in its active form when GTP-bound RagA/RRAGA forms a complex with GDP-bound RagC/RRAGC (or RagD/RRAGD) and in an inactive form when GDP-bound RagA/RRAGA heterodimerizes with GTP-bound RagC/RRAGC (or RagD/RRAGD). In its GTP-bound active form, promotes the recruitment of mTORC1 to the lysosomes and its subsequent activation by the GTPase RHEB. Involved in the RCC1/Ran-GTPase pathway. May play a direct role in a TNF signaling pathway leading to induction of cell death. (Microbial infection) May alternatively act as a cellular target for adenovirus E3-14.7K, an inhibitor of TNF functions, thereby affecting cell death.
Subunit / interactions. Can occur as a homodimer or as a heterodimer with RRAGC or RRAGD in a sequence-independent manner; heterodimerization stabilizes proteins of the heterodimer. The GTP-bound form of RRAGA (in complex with the GDP-bound form of RRAGC or RRAGD) interacts with RPTOR, thereby promoting recruitment of mTORC1 to the lysosomes. The Rag heterodimer interacts with SLC38A9; the probable amino acid sensor. The Rag heterodimer interacts with the Ragulator complex. The GTP-bound form of RRAGA interacts with NOL8. Component of the lysosomal folliculin complex (LFC), composed of FLCN, FNIP1 (or FNIP2), RagA/RRAGA or RagB/RRAGB GDP-bound, RagC/RRAGC or RagD/RRAGD GTP-bound, and Ragulator. Interacts with MiT/TFE factors MITF, TFEB and TFE3; promoting their localization to lysosomal membranes. Interacts with SH3BP4; the interaction with this negative regulator is most probably direct, preferentially occurs with the inactive GDP-bound form of RRAGA and is negatively regulated by amino acids. Interacts (polyubiquitinated) with TSC2. Interacts with SESN1, SESN2 and SESN3. Interacts with PIP4P1. Interacts with GPR137B. Interacts with WDR83; this interaction regulates the spatiotemporal localization of mTORC1 to the lysosomal surface. (Microbial infection) Interacts with adenovirus E3 14.7 kDa protein.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Lysosome membrane.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitously expressed with highest levels of expression in skeletal muscle, heart, and brain.
Post-translational modifications. Polybiquitinated via ‘Lys-63’-linked polyubiquitination by RNF152 in response to amino acid starvation: polyubiquitination of the GDP-bound inactive form by RNF152 promotes RRAGA inactivation and interaction with the GATOR1 complex. This does not affect RRAGA degradation.
Activity regulation. The activation of GTP-binding proteins is generally mediated by a guanine exchange factor (GEF), while inactivation through hydrolysis of bound GTP is catalyzed by a GTPase activating protein (GAP). The Ragulator complex functions as a GEF and promotes the active GTP-bound form. The GATOR1 complex functions as a GAP and stimulates RRAGA GTPase activity to turn it into its inactive GDP-bound form, preventing mTORC1 recruitment and activation.
Similarity. Belongs to the GTR/RAG GTP-binding protein family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 31 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
