HIGH RESOLUTION STRUCTURE OF GPPNHP-BOUND HUMAN RAB4A
Overview
The Ras-related human GTPase Rab4a is involved in the regulation of, endocytosis through the sorting and recycling of early endosomes. Towards, further insight, we have determined the three-dimensional crystal, structure of human Rab4a in its GppNHp-bound state to 1.6 Angstroms, resolution and in its GDP-bound state to 1.8 Angstroms resolution, respectively. Despite the similarity of the overall structure with other, Rab proteins, Rab4a displays significant differences. The structures are, discussed with respect to the recently determined structure of human Rab5a, and its complex with the Rab5-binding domain of the bivalent effector, Rabaptin-5. The Rab4 specific residue His39 modulates the nucleotide, binding pocket giving rise to a reduced rate for nucleotide hydrolysis and, exchange. ... [(full description)]
