Abstract Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, are nanoparticles increasingly recognized as key regulators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological aspects. Despite rapid progress, inconsistencies in nomenclature, isolation, and characterization continue to restrict translational advancement.

This unit describes methods to identify proteins interacting with, and regulating, Rab GTPases. Rabs form the largest subgroup of Ras superfamily GTPases, and act as molecular switches controlling the specificity of membrane trafficking.

Rabs, Rips, FIPs, and Endocytic Membrane Traffic
Rab GTPases, proteins belonging to the Ras-like small GTP-binding protein superfamily, have emerged as master regulators of cellular membrane transport.

Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

RAB-5 and RAB-7 GTPases promote DAF-16 FOXO localization to endosomes.
(A-F) Representative confocal images of the intestinal cells of animals expressing DAF-16a::GFP (zIs356) (green) and either RFP::RAB-5 (pwIs480) (A-C) or mCherry::RAB-7 (pwIs429) (magenta) (D- F).

The role of extracellular vesicles in cell–cell crosstalk in cardiotoxicity
Abstract figure legend Administration of a pharmacological agent can result in off‐target cardiotoxicity which can be driven by cell–cell crosstalk between healthy and dysfunctional cardiac cells. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer structures that can move biological cargo between cells, facilitating cell–cell crosstalk.

Rab GTPases cycle between an active GTP-bound form and an inactive GDP-bound form. Rab activation is mediated by a guanine exchange factor (GEF). The hydrolysis of bound GTP is catalyzed by a GTPase activating protein (GAP) resulting in the inactivation ...

Emerging roles of small GTPases in secondary cell wall development
Regulation of plant cell wall deposition and patterning is essential for the normal growth and development of plants. Small GTPases play pivotal roles in the modulation of primary cell wall formation by controlling cytoskeletal organization and membrane ...

Abstract figure legend Cardiac cellular electrophysiology is modulated by multiple factors, including temperature, extracellular K+, heart rate/pacing frequency, and drugs. These modulators can have distinct effects on ion‐channel gating and transcription/trafficking over time.

Rab GTPase-Myo5B complexes control membrane recycling and epithelial polarization
The Rab GTPases are the largest family of proteins regulating membrane traffic. Rab proteins form a nidus for the assembly of multiprotein complexes on distinct vesicle membranes to regulate particular membrane trafficking pathways. Recent investigations
