The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) regulates cell growth and survival via two different multiprotein complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. The assembly of these serine-threonine kinase multiprotein complexes occurs via poorly understood molecular mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that GRp58/ERp57 regulates the existence and activity of mTORC1. Endogenous mTOR interacts with GRp58/ERp57 in different mammalian cells. In vitro, recombinant GRp58/ERp57 preferentially interacts with mTORC1. GRp58/ERp57 knockdown reduces mTORC1 levels and phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 and p70(S6K) in response to insulin. In contrast, GRp58/ERp57 overexpression increases mTORC1 levels and activity. A redox-sensitive mechanism that depends on GRp58/ERp57 expression activates mTORC1. Although GRp58/ERp57 is known as an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident, we demonstrate its presence at the cytosol, together with mTOR, Raptor, and Rictor as well as a pool of these proteins associated to the ER. In addition, the presence of GRp58/ERp57 at the ER decreases in response to insulin or leucine. Interestingly, a fraction of p70(S6K), but not 4E-BP1, is associated to the ER and phosphorylated in response to serum, insulin, or leucine. Altogether, our results suggest that GRp58/ERp57 is involved in the assembly of mTORC1 and positively regulates mTORC1 signaling at the cytosol and the cytosolic side of the ER.
