Background of SLC38A9

Solute carrier family 38 member 9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC38A9 gene. Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 9 (SLC38A9) is a lysosomal amino acid transporter, involved in the regulation of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity in response to amino acid levels within the lysosomal lumen. A sodium-couple amino acid transporter at the lysosome, SLC38A9, senses arginine from within the lysosome to convey arginine sufficiency to mTORC1. SLC38A9 forms a complex with other lysosomal resident proteins including the v-ATPase and a pentameric complex called Ragulator. v-ATPase function is necessary for mTORC1 activation, but the molecular mechanism of this regulation is currently unclear2. Ragulator binds strongly to the Rag GTPases and was shown to function as a guanine exchange factor (GEF) for RagA/B. Potentially SLC38A9 and the v-ATPase are able to regulate mTORC1 activity by modulating Ragulator’s GEF activity. RagA/B is not the only Rag GTPase that is regulated, but a Folliculin-FNIP2 complex is a GAP for RagC/D. In short, SLC38A9 is a functional component of the lysosomal amino acid sensing machinery involved in the control of mTORC1 activity, that underlies the regulation of the metabolic status and cellular responses to growth factors, energy, glucose and amino acid levels.

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of SLC38A9 using anti-SLC38A9 antibody (A05824-2).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human Hacat whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: rat liver tissue lysates,
Lane 3: mouse liver tissue lysates.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-SLC38A9 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # A05824-2) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for SLC38A9 at approximately 64 kDa. The expected band size for SLC38A9 is at 64 kDa.

SLC38A9 was detected in an immunocytochemical section of HELA cells. Enzyme antigen retrieval was performed using IHC enzyme antigen retrieval reagent (AR0022) for 15 mins. The cells were blocked with 10% goat serum. And then incubated with 5 μg/mL rabbit anti-SLC38A9 Antibody (A05824-2) overnight at 4°C. Cy3 Conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (BA1032) was used as secondary antibody at 1:500 dilution and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The section was counterstained with DAPI. Visualize using a fluorescence microscope and filter sets appropriate for the label used.

Overlay histogram showing JK cells stained with A05824-2 (Blue line). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with permeabilization buffer. The cells were blocked with 10% normal goat serum. And then incubated with rabbit anti-SLC38A9 Antibody (A05824-2, 1 μg/1x10⁶ cells) for 30 min at 20°C. DyLight®488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (BA1127, 5-10 μg/1x10⁶ cells) was used as secondary antibody for 30 minutes at 20°C. Isotype control antibody (Green line) was rabbit IgG (1 μg/1x10⁶) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (Red line) was also used as a control.
