Target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) integrates nutrient signals to control cell growth and organismal homeostasis across eukaryotes1–4. The evolutionarily conserved GATOR complex regulates TORC1 signaling through Rag GTPases with GATOR1 displaying GTPase activating protein (GAP) activity towards RagA/B and GATOR2 proposed as an inhibitor of GATOR15,6. Furthermore, the metazoan-specific Sestrin proteins function as guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitors (GDIs) for RagA/B, and interact with GATOR2 with unknown functions7–9. Here we show that SZT2, a metazoan-specific protein mutated in epilepsy10–13, recruits a fraction of mammalian GATOR1 and GATOR2 to form SZT2-Orchestrated GATOR (SOG) complex with an essential role in GATOR- and Sestrin-dependent nutrient sensing and mTORC1 regulation. SZT2 interaction with GATOR1 and GATOR2 was cooperative, and an integral SOG was required for its localization on the lysosome. SZT2 deficiency resulted in constitutive mTORC1 signaling in cells under nutrient deprivation conditions and neonatal lethality in mice associated with failed mTORC1 inactivation during fasting. mTORC1 hyperactivation in SZT2-deficient cells could be partially corrected by overexpression of the GATOR1 component DEPDC5, and by a lysosome-targeted GATOR2 component WDR59 or a lysosome-targeted Sestrin2. These findings demonstrate a central role of SZT2 in dictating GATOR-dependent nutrient sensing by promoting lysosomal localization of SOG, and reveal an unexpected function of lysosome-located GATOR2 in suppressing mTORC1 signaling via Sestrin recruitment.
