    motifs/domains
  • tandem N-terminal DEP (dishevelled, egl-10, pleckstrin) domains
  • a C-terminal PDZ (postsynaptic density 95, discs large, zonula occludens-1) domain, mediating its interaction with MTOR

    basic FUNCTION
  • within cells is an inhibitor of MTORC1 and MTORC2 activities (its phosphorylation is necessary to reverse the inhibitory effects of DEPDC6 on MTORC2 activity)
  • accumulates upon glucose deprivation and MTOR inhibition to induce autophagy
  • plays a pivotal role in the development and progression of human malignances, which could in part be mediated through its inhibitory role toward MTOR
  • as a new regulator of adipogenesis (pMID: 22883231)
  • is a critical upstream regulator of endothelial cells (ECs) activation responses, suggesting that it plays an important role in endogenous mechanisms of anti-inflammation and pro-resolution
  • SMARCD3 expression and expression of DEPTOR was downregulated in skeletal muscle in obesity, accompanied by extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) activation
  • plays a key role in maintaining stem cell pluripotency by limiting MTOR activity in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells (ESCs)
  • is a novel stemness factor that promotes pluripotency and self-renewal in ESCs by inhibiting MTOR signaling
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
  • SMARCD3/DEPTOR pathway is a target of proinflammatory signaling in skeletal muscle that may link meta-inflammation to skeletal myofiber metabolism and insulin resistance
  • plays a key role in maintaining stem cell pluripotency by limiting MTOR activity in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells (ESCs)
  • a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • MTOR-interacting protein, that normally functions to inhibit the MTORC1 and MTORC2 pathways
  • interacts with a C-terminal portion of MTOR (AA1483
  • 2000) that is upstream of its kinase domain and does not encompass the mLST8/G
    L binding site (AA 2001
    2549)
  • inhibitor of the MTOR kinase that is highly regulated at the posttranslational level
  • CRTC2 modulated negatively by interaction with DEPTOR and positively by the TSC1-TSC2 protein complex
  • BTRC regulates cell growth and autophagy by controlling the ubiquitination and destruction of DEPTOR, an endogenous mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor, in a phosphorylation-dependent manner
  • through DEPTOR stabilization, AMBRA1 establishes a feedback loop that ensures the rapid onset of autophagy by enhancing MTOR inactivation
  • inhibitor of MTOR and CRTC2
  • CUL1 promoted MTOR activity and cap-dependent translation by enhancing the ubiquitination and degradation of DEPTOR
  • RNF7 is an E3 ligase that promotes ubiquitylation and degradation of PHLPP1 and DEPTOR, leading to activation of the PI3K/AKT/MTOR axis, whereas RNF7 knockdown caused their accumulation
  • cell & other
