Targeting RAB7 in human B lymphoma by a small molecule inhibitor arrests tumor cell growth [PDF]
RAB7, encoded by RAB7A in humans and Rab7 in mice, is a small GTPase that catalyzes endosome maturation. It mediates NF-κB activation through the assembly of intracellular membrane signalosomes in stimulated normal B cells and plays a B cell-intrinsic ...

AP2A1 activates Rab7 to promote axonal autophagosome transport and slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Background Dysregulation retrograde axonal transport in neurons results in autophagosome accumulation, enhancing amyloid β (Aβ) production and accelerating Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression.

Induced mitochondrial deficit by NDUFS3 transient silencing reduces RAB7 expression and causes lysosomal dysfunction in pancreatic cancer cells [PDF]
Background RAB7 is a small GTPase with multiple cellular roles, regulating late endocytic trafficking and lysosomal biogenesis, influencing mitochondria-lysosome crosstalk, and contributing to many mitochondrial processes.

Expected and unexpected roles for dynein regulation of dendritic late endosomes
Dendrites differ from axons in multiple ways, including the presence of minus-end out microtubules intermixed with the more conventional plus-end out microtubules.

Rab7 is required for mesoderm patterning and gastrulation in Xenopus
Early embryogenesis requires tightly controlled temporal and spatial coordination of cellular behavior and signaling. Modulations are achieved at multiple levels, from cellular transcription to tissue-scale behavior.

Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) fuse with not only the plasma membranes to release extracellular vesicles (EVs) but also lysosomes for degradation. Rab7 participates in the lysosomal targeting of MVBs.

Effects of Rab7 gene up-regulation on renal fibrosis induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction [PDF]
Rab7, an important member of the Rab family, is closely related to autophagy, endocytosis, apoptosis, and tumor suppression but few studies have described its association with renal fibrosis.

Characterization of Zika virus endocytic pathways in human glioblastoma cells [PDF]
Zika virus (ZIKV) infections can cause microcephaly and neurological disorders. However, the early infection events of ZIKV in neural cells remain to be characterized. Here, by using a combination of pharmacological and molecular approaches and the human

A conserved and regulated mechanism drives endosomal Rab transition
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,
