alphabeta-tubulin | soluble alphabeta-tubulin acts as a constitutively active Rheb activator that performs direct Rheb-binding, the deacetylated form has a high binding affinity for Rheb. Deacetylated soluble tubulin has a positive role in Rheb function by increasing the GTP-bound Rheb levels. Overexpression of alpha-tubulin K40A increases Rheb-induced S6K1 phosphorylation | Homo sapiens |

evolution | Ras homologue enriched in the brain (Rheb) belongs to the Ras superfamily, sharing high homology with human Rap2, yeast RAS1, and human H-Ras | Homo sapiens |
additional information | overexpression of any type of Rhebs (wild-type, constitutively active form, and dominant-negative form) does not affect the intact microtubule structure, and the vesicle-formed Rheb does not colocalize with the microtubule network during interphase and mitosis | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | Rheb acts as a molecular switch in several cellular processes, such as misfolded protein metabolism, cellular apoptosis, vesicle formation and myogenesis. The Ras homologue enriched in brain (Rheb) regulates diverse cellular functions by modulating its nucleotide-bound status. Deacetylated alphabeta-tubulin acts as a positive regulator of Rheb GTPase through increasing its GTP-loading, regulatory mechanism of Rheb, overview. Modulation of both soluble and acetylated alphabeta-tubulin levels affects the level of GTP-bound Rheb. This occurs in the mitotic phase in which the level of acetylated alphabeta-tubulin is increased but that of GTP-bound Rheb is decreased. Rheb is an upstream key activator for the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1), which has a central role in cell growth by regulating protein synthesis, through modulating mTOR kinase activity.
