The complexity of the Rab and Rho GTP-binding protein subfamilies revealed by a PCR cloning approach
Partial sequences corresponding to eleven novel Rab proteins and one new Rho protein have been isolated using a PCR-based cloning approach. These results confirm that the overall diversity of the Rab and Rho protein subfamilies account for more than thirty different members in mammalian cells.

A cDNA encoding a member of the Ypt/Rab family of small GTP-binding proteins was cloned from the facultative CAM plant Mesembryanthemum crystallinum. Mcrab5b includes an open reading frame of 201 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence shows 91% similarity to LjRAB5b isolated from Lotus japonicus.

Gene cloning and characterization of a GTP-binding Rab protein from mouse pituitary AtT-20 cells
The Rab proteins constitute a family of Ras-like, low-molecular-weight GTP-binding proteins that are involved in vesicular transport in mammalian cells. Several members of this family have been localized to specific cellular compartments, indicating that they may control vesicular transfer between discrete portions of the endomembrane systems.

A variety of intracellular membrane trafficking pathways are involved in establishing the polarization of resorbing osteoclasts and regulating bone resorption activities. Small GTP-binding proteins of rab family have been implicated as key regulators of membrane trafficking in mammalian cells.

Many subgroups of the RAB gene, a member of the RAS superfamily have been identified. Here we report the isolation and analysis of a cDNA encoding a putative small GTP-binding protein, designated RABL, from a human fetal lung cDNA library. RABL encodes 216 amino acids that are 86 % identical to members of the RAB5 subfamily and it shows 94% homology in

We have previously reported the isolation of a gene from a soybean cDNA library encoding a Ypt/Rab-related small GTP-binding protein, Sypt. Here, we report the isolation of a second Ypt/Rab-related gene, designated Srab2, from the same soybean cDNA library.

Several GTP-binding proteins with poorly defined functions were previously identified in Escherichia coli (i.e. Era, ThdF (TrmE)), Bacillus subtilis (i.e. Obg) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (i.e. EngA). In these species, every individual protein is encoded by an essential gene.

Identification of a novel family of human Rab-like small GTP-binding proteins.
The presence of a novel family of Rab-like proteins (Rlp) in the human genome is reported. The gene encoding the Rlp-2 was isolated from a human lymphocyte genomic library. The Rlp-2 gene is intronless and was mapped to chromosome Xq21.3 using fluorescence in situ hybridization.
