Secondary Information

Protein Function Recycling endosome-to-plasma membrane transport, GLUT4 trafficking, epithelial junction development; Rab proteins are GTPases that act as key regulators in intracellular vesicular transport; belong to Ras family; switch between the inactive (GDP-bound) and active (GTP-bound) forms; associate with membranes via their C-terminal isoprenoid moieties; interact with motor proteins involved in transport; contribute to the structural and functional identity of intracellular organelles; master regulators of organelle biogenesis and cellular homeostasis; The ubiquitous Rab GTPases Rab5, Rab4, and Rab11 function on the early endocytic pathway, whereas Rab7 and Rab9 function on the late endocytic pathway
Biochemical Properties Rabs are inactivated by GTP hydrolysis catalyzed by GAPs (GTP activating proteins), before extraction of GDP-bound Rabs by GDB dissociation inhibitor (GDI); C-terminally lipidmodified GTPases; high affinity for Rab escort protein and GDI; REP has high affinity for unprenylated Rabs; GDI binds unprenylated Rabs weakly but prenylated Rabs very strongly; Rab GTPases behave both as soluble and specifically localized, integral-membrane proteins; kept soluble in the cytosol and in the inactive (GDP-bound) conformation through association with GDI;
Significance in milk important for proper mammary gland development
PTMs Prenylation—addition of one or two geranyl- geranyl groups—on conserved carboxyterminal cysteine residues; mammalian Rab GTPases undergoes adenylation or phosphocholination by bacterial enzymes that can occur on the membrane-bound, inactive Rab and preclude GDI rebinding
Site(s) of PTM(s)

N-glycosylation, O-glycosylation,
Phosphorylation
Predicted Disorder Regions NA
DisProt Annotation
TM Helix Prediction No TM helices
Significance of PTMs prenylation serves together with upstream hypervariable regions in promoting specific and stable membrane association; adenylation or phosphocholination occurs in the absence of infection as an alternative to GDI displacement and membrane stabilization;
