Rab-GDP dissociation inhibitor isoforms in Arabidopsis thaliana
نویسنده
چکیده
Rab-GDP dissociation inhibitor protein (rab-GDI) plays an essential role in secretory pathways. To date, the question of multiplicity of GDI isoforms in higher plants remains open and dbEST search, PCR and Southern blot analysis have been used to assess the isoform composition of rab-GDI in Arabidopsis thaliana. A novel rab-GDI isoform, ,4rGDI2, was identified which shares 90% identity in amino acid sequence with the known A. thaliana GDI and significantly differs from it by the stucture of its 5' and 3' untranslated regions.

Rab GTPases participating in the regulation of vesicle trafficking in eukaryotes are geranylgeranylated by the Rab geranylgeranyl transferase (RabGGTase) in complex with the Rab escort protein (REP). Here, we describe basic properties of the Arabidopsis thaliana REP (AthREP), first REP outside yeasts or metazoans to be characterized. GFP-tagged AthREP, as well as the geranylgeranylation activit...

Rab proteins are small GTPases required for vesicle trafficking through the secretory and endocytic pathways. Rab GDP-dissociation inhibitor (rab-GDI) regulates Rab protein function and localization by maintaining Rab proteins in the GDP-bound conformation. Two isoforms of rab-GDI are present in most mammalian cells: GDI-1 and GDI-2. It has recently been demonstrated that a Heat shock protein 9...

Regulated exocytosis of neurotransmitter from synaptic vesicles involves the function of a small GTP-binding protein, Rab3A. Rab-GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) is an important modulator of Rab function and subcellular distribution. We have characterized the respective roles of innervation and target tissue interactions in regulating GDI expression during synapse formation in chick ciliary gan...

Intracellular vesicular trafficking is regulated by approximately 60 members of the Rab subfamily of small Ras-like GDP/GTP binding proteins. Rab proteins cycle between inactive and active states as well as between cytosolic and membrane bound forms. Membrane extraction/delivery and cytosolic distribution of Rabs is mediated by interaction with the protein GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) that ...
