| Abstrakt: | The Rab GTPases are master regulators of endosomal trafficking in eukaryotic cells. Among them, Rab8 plays an important role in tubulovesicular trafficking from the trans-Golgi network and recycling endosomes to the plasma membrane. Rab8 is activated by its guanine nucleotide exchange factor, Rabin8. In order to understand the molecular mechanisms that control endosomal recycling to the plasma membrane, it is pivotal to understand how Rabin8 is regulated in cells. Recently, biochemical and cell biological studies have identified several mechanisms for Rabin8 activation, which involves the relief of the intramolecular autoinhibition of Rabin8. Here we describe biochemical methods that we have used recently to study the activation of Rabin8. (Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.) |
