Western blot - Anti-RICTOR antibody [EPR22008] (AB219950)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-RICTOR antibody [EPR22008] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab219950 was shown to bind specifically to RICTOR. A band was observed at 190 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in RICTOR knockout cell line ab277866 (knockout cell lysate ab288315). To generate this image, wild-type and RICTOR knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

ab219950 was shown to specifically react with RICTOR in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in RICTOR knockout cells. Wild-type and RICTOR knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab219950 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated 1 hour at room temperature at 1/1000 dilution and 1/200,000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG, (H+L), Peroxidase conjugated (ab97051) secondary antibody at 1/50,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging. The blot was developed on a BIO-RAD® ChemiDoc™ MP instrument using the ECL technique.

Supplementary information

RICTOR (Rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR) is an important component of the mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2) distinguished by its ability to interact with mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin). RICTOR possesses a molecular mass of approximately 192 kDa. You can find RICTOR widely expressed in various tissues including the brain liver and skeletal muscle. Researchers also refer to it as AVO3.
Biological function summary

The protein plays a significant role in cellular growth proliferation and survival. RICTOR forms part of the mTORC2 complex which is important for Akt/PKB phosphorylation. Activation of mTORC2 by RICTOR regulates actin cytoskeleton dynamics and membrane trafficking. This involvement affects the control of cell metabolism and immune responses.

Pathways

RICTOR integrates into the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway influencing cell growth and survival in response to nutrients and growth factors. RICTOR as part of mTORC2 also interacts with proteins such as Sin1 and mLST8 helping regulate PKB/Akt phosphorylation at Ser473. This interaction links RICTOR's function to the insulin signaling pathway which controls aspects of glucose metabolism.

The dysregulation of RICTOR plays a role in cancer progression and metabolic disorders. Alterations in the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway can lead to the development of various cancers with RICTOR contributing to tumorigenesis through Akt activation. Additionally aberrant RICTOR expression affects insulin signaling therefore connecting it to diabetes. Through these pathways and conditions RICTOR's interaction with proteins such as mTOR illustrates its relevance in disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets.

Target data

Subunit of mTORC2, which regulates cell growth and survival in response to hormonal signals. mTORC2 is activated by growth factors, but, in contrast to mTORC1, seems to be nutrient-insensitive. mTORC2 seems to function upstream of Rho GTPases to regulate the actin cytoskeleton, probably by activating one or more Rho-type guanine nucleotide exchange factors. mTORC2 promotes the serum-induced formation of stress-fibers or F-actin. mTORC2 plays a critical role in AKT1 'Ser-473' phosphorylation, which may facilitate the phosphorylation of the activation loop of AKT1 on 'Thr-308' by PDK1 which is a prerequisite for full activation. mTORC2 regulates the phosphorylation of SGK1 at 'Ser-422'. mTORC2 also modulates the phosphorylation of PRKCA on 'Ser-657'. Plays an essential role in embryonic growth and development.
