Function
[RAB8A_HUMAN] May be involved in vesicular trafficking and neurotransmitter release. Together with RAB11A, RAB3IP, the exocyst complex, PARD3, PRKCI, ANXA2, CDC42 and DNMBP promotes transcytosis of PODXL to the apical membrane initiation sites (AMIS), apical surface formation and lumenogenesis. Together with MYO5B and RAB11A participates in epithelial cell polarization.[1] [2]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Small G-proteins (G) of the Ras-superfamily control the temporal and spatial coordination of intracellular signaling networks by acting as molecular on/off switches. Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) regulate the activation of these G-proteins through catalytic replace-ment of guanosine diphosphate (GDP) by gua-nosine triphosphate (GTP). During nucleotide exchange, three distinct substrate-enzyme complexes occur: A ternary complex with GDP at the start of reaction (G:GDP:GEF), an intermediary nucleotide-free binary complex (G:GEF), and a ternary GTP-complex after productive G-protein activation (G:GTP:GEF). Here we show structural snapshots of the full nucleotide-exchange reaction sequence together with the G-protein substrates and products using Rabin8/GRAB (GEF) and Rab8 (G-protein) as a model system. Together with a thorough enzymatic characterization, our data provide a detailed view into the mechanism of Rabin8/GRAB mediated nucleotide exchange.
