Mouse Anti-SESN2 Recombinant Antibody (CBXS-4315) (CBMAB-S1560-CQ)

Sestrin 2

This gene encodes a member of the sestrin family of PA26-related proteins. The encoded protein may function in the regulation of cell growth and survival. This protein may be involved in cellular response to different stress conditions.

Functions as an intracellular leucine sensor that negatively regulates the TORC1 signaling pathway through the GATOR complex (PubMed:18692468, PubMed:25263562, PubMed:25457612, PubMed:26449471, PubMed:26612684, PubMed:26586190, PubMed:31586034, PubMed:35114100).
In absence of leucine, binds the GATOR subcomplex GATOR2 and prevents TORC1 signaling (PubMed:18692468, PubMed:25263562, PubMed:25457612, PubMed:26449471, PubMed:26612684, PubMed:26586190, PubMed:31586034, PubMed:35114100).
Binding of leucine to SESN2 disrupts its interaction with GATOR2 thereby activating the TORC1 signaling pathway (PubMed:26449471, PubMed:26586190, PubMed:35114100).
This stress-inducible metabolic regulator also plays a role in protection against oxidative and genotoxic stresses. May negatively regulate protein translation in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress, via TORC1 (PubMed:24947615).
May positively regulate the transcription by NFE2L2 of genes involved in the response to oxidative stress by facilitating the SQSTM1-mediated autophagic degradation of KEAP1 (PubMed:23274085).
May also mediate TP53 inhibition of TORC1 signaling upon genotoxic stress (PubMed:18692468).
Moreover, may prevent the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the alkylhydroperoxide reductase activity born by the N-terminal domain of the protein (PubMed:26612684).
Was originally reported to contribute to oxidative stress resistance by reducing PRDX1 (PubMed:15105503).
However, this could not be confirmed (PubMed:19113821).

Phosphorylated by ULK1 at multiple sites.
Ubiquitinated at Lys-175 by RNF167 via 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination in response to leucine deprivation: ubiquitination promotes SESN2-interaction with the GATOR2 complex, leading to inhibit the TORC1 signaling pathway (PubMed:35114100).
Deubiquitinated at Lys-175 by STAMBPL1, promoting the TORC1 signaling pathway (PubMed:35114100).
Ubiquitinated by RNF186; ubiquitination mediates proteasomal degradation (PubMed:31586034).
