Components Portion: Lamtor 1

Lamtor 1 (L1), also known as p18, is composed of the N-terminal and the C-terminal. The N-terminal is made up of myristoylation and palmintoylation that assist in anchoring the ragulator to the lysosomal membrane. L1 wraps around all four of the lamtors (2,3,4 and 5). The C-terminal connects Lamtors 5 and 2 together even though there is no interaction between the two. Alpha helices connect each functioning part together, and fill in the blank spaces between each of the components. Alpha 1 helices join L1 to lamtor 2. Alpha 2 helices join L1 to lamtor 4 and Alpha 3 helices join L1 to lamtor 5. Lamtor 1's major responisibility is to anchor the ragulator to the membranes.
