The Regulation of Rab GTPases by Phosphorylation

Abstract: Rab proteins are small GTPases that act as molecular switches for intracellular vesicle trafficking. Although their function is mainly regulated by regulatory proteins such as GTPase-activating proteins and guanine nucleotide exchange factors, recent studies have shown that some Rab proteins are physiologically phosphorylated in the switch II region by Rab kinases. As the switch II region of Rab proteins undergoes a conformational change depending on the bound nucleotide, it plays an essential role in their fu… Show more

“…Rab10 is involved in a myriad of functions in the polarized transport of proteins from the Golgi to the plasma membrane [ 37 ], and in exocytosis [ 38 ] and endosomal sorting [ 39 ] in polarized cells. Accumulated findings have suggested that the dynamic control of the Rab function is more regulated by phosphorylation [ 40 , 41 ]. We have found that non-phosphorylated Rab8b or Rab10 resulted in cell bulging, probably due to protein retention in the cells with disorder of polarized transport ( Figure 4 C).…”

“…The LRRK2-dependent phosphorylation of Rab10 in the highly conserved switch II region has been proposed to affect its GTP/GDP cycle as well as its ability to bind effectors 44,45 . Moreover, this phosphorylation site has been shown to regulate the interaction of Rab10 with JIP3 and JIP4 46 , which are adaptors for the plus-end-directed microtubule-dependent motor kinesin-1 47,48 .…”

“…Rabs, small GTPases that play an essential role in intracellular vesicular transport, serve as key switches that regulate membrane transport within eukaryotic cells. Rab proteins interact with their binding domain (RBD) to recruit Rab effectors into subcellular compartments via their binding domain, regulating vesicle formation, transport, and fusion processes [114][115][116]. Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) can directly phosphorylate Rabs; when overexpressed, 14 Rabs become substrates of endogenous LRRK2.…”
