Regulation of polarised growth in fungi [PDF]
Polarised growth in fungi occurs through the delivery of secretory vesicles along tracks formed by cytoskeletal elements to specific sites on the cell surface where they dock with a multiprotein structure called the exocyst before fusing with the ...

Role of the Rab GTP-Binding Protein Ypt3 in the Fission Yeast Exocytic Pathway and Its Connection to Calcineurin Function [PDF]
A genetic screen for mutations synthetically lethal with fission yeast calcineurin deletion led to the identification of Ypt3, a homolog of mammalian Rab11 GTP-binding protein. A mutant with the temperature-sensitive ypt3-i5 allele showed pleiotropic phenotypes such as defects in cytokinesis, cell wall integrity, and vacuole fusion, and these were ...

Rabaptin5 is recruited to endosomes by Rab4 and Rabex5 to regulate endosome maturation [PDF]
Rab GTPases control membrane identity, fusion, and transport by interaction with effector proteins. Effectors that influence the activation/inactivation cycle of their own or other Rabs contribute to the timely conversion of Rab identities.

Myofibroblast-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Drive Profibrotic Cascade Amplification in Pulmonary Fibrosis via the Nestin-Rab7 Axis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal fibrotic lung disease characterized by aberrant myofibroblast activation and excessive extracellular matrix deposition, with extracellular vesicles (EVs) playing a crucial role in this pathological process. We observed that EVs levels are significantly elevated in IPF and positively correlate with

Dysregulated phosphorylation of Rab GTPases by LRRK2 induces neurodegeneration
Background Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most common cause of familial and sporadic Parkinson’s disease (PD). Elevated kinase activity is associated with LRRK2 toxicity, but the substrates that mediate neurodegeneration remain

Topological and functional properties of the small GTPases protein interaction network. [PDF]
Small GTP binding proteins of the Ras superfamily (Ras, Rho, Rab, Arf, and Ran) regulate key cellular processes such as signal transduction, cell proliferation, cell motility, and vesicle transport.
