FlyBase gene description for Iml1 (DROME)

Increased minichromosome loss 1 (Iml1) encodes a component of the highly conserved GAP Activity Towards Rags 1 (GATOR1) complex, which inhibits the activity of the product of mTor in response to amino acid starvation. The product of Iml1, as well as the other GATOR1 components encoded by Nprl2 and Nprl3, regulates early meiotic progression.
