A conserved and regulated mechanism drives endosomal Rab transition
eLife, 2020 Endosomes and lysosomes harbor Rab5 and Rab7 on their surface as key proteins involved in their identity, biogenesis, and fusion. Rab activation requires a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), which is Mon1-Ccz1 for Rab7. During endosome maturation,

Differences in endosomal Rab gene expression between positive and negative COVID-19 patients
BMC Research Notes, 2022 Objective SARS CoV-2, the etiologic agent of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is well-known to use ACE2 to begin internalization. Some viruses enter the host cell through the endocytosis process and involve some endocytosis proteins, such as the Rab ...

Rab5 and Alsin regulate stress-activated cytoprotective signaling on mitochondria
eLife, 2018 Mitochondrial stress response is essential for cell survival, and damaged mitochondria are a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, it is fundamental to understand how mitochondria relay information within the cell.

Rab7 associates with early endosomes to mediate sorting and transport of Semliki forest virus to late endosomes. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2005 Semliki forest virus (SFV) is internalized by clathrin-mediated endocytosis, and transported via early endosomes to late endosomes and lysosomes. The intracellular pathway taken by individual fluorescently labeled SFV particles was followed using ...

Mechanism by which Rab5 promotes regeneration and functional recovery of zebrafish Mauthner axons
Neural Regeneration ResearchRab5 is a GTPase protein that is involved in intracellular membrane trafficking. It functions by binding to various effector proteins and regulating cellular responses, including the formation of transport vesicles and their fusion with the cellular ...

PLoS ONE, 2014 Tropheryma whipplei, the agent of Whipple's disease, inhibits phago-lysosome biogenesis to create a suitable niche for its survival and replication in macrophages. To understand the mechanism by which it subverts phagosome maturation, we used biochemical

Rab21 recruits EEA1 and competes with Rab5 for Rabex-5 activation
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyRab5 is a key regulator of early endosomal traffic and fusion. It shares its localization and guanine nucleotide exchange factor Rabex-5 with the less characterized member of the Rab5 subfamily Rab21.

Enrichment of Phosphatidylethanolamine in Viral Replication Compartments via Co-opting the Endosomal Rab5 Small GTPase by a Positive-Strand RNA Virus. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2016 Positive-strand RNA viruses build extensive membranous replication compartments to support replication and protect the virus from antiviral responses by the host.

eLife, 2017 Rab GTPases, which are involved in intracellular trafficking pathways, have recently been reported to be ubiquitinated. However, the functions of ubiquitinated Rab proteins remain unexplored. Here we show that Rab5 is monoubiquitinated on K116, K140, and

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
