Function
[GDI1_YEAST] Regulates the GDP/GTP exchange reaction of SEC4 by inhibiting the dissociation of GDP from it, and the subsequent binding of GTP to SEC4. Plays an essential role in the yeast secretory pathway.[1] [YPT1_YEAST] Involved in the trafficking of secretory vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi. Regulates correct targeting and tethering of vesicles to target membranes by catalyzing the selective recruitment of proteins required for tethering and fusion onto membranes. Vesicular transport depends on shuttling of YPT1 between membrane and cytosol by GDI1, probably by recycling it to its membrane of origin after a vesicle fusion event. Required for sorting and transport of proteins from the ER through the Golgi compartment. Also involved in the recycling of membrane proteins.[2] [:][3] [4] [5] [6]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
In eukaryotic cells Rab/Ypt GTPases represent a family of key membrane traffic controllers that associate with their targeted membranes via C-terminally conjugated geranylgeranyl groups. GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) is a general and essential regulator of Rab recycling that extracts prenylated Rab proteins from membranes at the end of their cycle of activity and facilitates their delivery to the donor membranes. Here, we present the structure of a complex between GDI and a doubly prenylated Rab protein. We show that one geranylgeranyl residue is deeply buried in a hydrophobic pocket formed by domain II of GDI, whereas the other lipid is more exposed to solvent and is skewed across several atoms of the first moiety. Based on structural information and biophysical measurements, we propose mechanistic and thermodynamic models for GDI and Rab escort protein-mediated interaction of RabGTPase with intracellular membranes.
