CELL SCIENCE AT A GLANCE Cellular functions of Rab GTPases at a glance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rab GTPases control intracellular membrane traffic by recruiting specific effector proteins to restricted membranes in a GTPdependent manner. In this Cell Science at a Glance and the accompanying poster, we highlight the regulation of Rab GTPases by proteins that control their membrane association and activation state, and provide an overview of the cellular processes that are regulated by Rab GTPases and their effectors, including protein sorting, vesicle motility and vesicle tethering. We also discuss the physiological importance of Rab GTPases and provide examples of diseases caused by their dysfunctions.

متن کاملRab GTPases at a glance.
There was an error published in J. Cell Sci. 120, 3905-3910. The authors regret that in Table 1 under ‘(13) Rab1, Rab3, Rab8, Rab10, Rab12, Rab13, Rab15, Rab35, Rab40’, Rab35 was incorrectly referred to as an uncharacterized member of the Rab family. The correct details are given below. Rab Localization Function Reference Rab35 Plasma membrane, endosomes, intercellular bridge Rapid endocytic re...
متن کاملRab11 in Disease Progression
Membrane/ protein trafficking in the secretory/ biosynthetic and endocytic pathways is mediated by vesicles. Vesicle trafficking in eukaryotes is regulated by a class of small monomeric GTPases the Rab protein family. Rab proteins represent the largest branch of the Ras superfamily GTPases, and have been concerned in a variety of intracellular vesicle trafficking and different intracellular sig...
متن کاملRab11 is required for maintenance of cell shape via βPS integrin mediated cell adhesion in Drosophila
In eukaryotes, vesicle trafficking is regulated by the small monomeric GTPases of the Rab protein family. Rab11, (a subfamily of the Ypt/Rab gene family) an evolutionarily conserved, ubiquitously expressed subfamily of small monomeric Rab GTPases, has been implicated in regulating vesicular trafficking through the recycling of endosomal compartment. In an earlier communication, we have shown th...
متن کاملThe Ras superfamily at a glance.
The Ras superfamily of small guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) comprise over 150 human members (Table S1 in supplementary material), with evolutionarily conserved orthologs found in Drosophila, C. elegans, S. cerevisiae, S. pombe, Dictyostelium and plants (Colicelli, 2004). The Ras oncogene proteins are the founding members of this family, which is divided into five major branches on the basi...
