VPS21

VPS12, VPT12, YPT21, YPT51, Rab family GTPase VPS21, L000002474, YOR089C
Endosomal Rab family GTPase; required for endocytic transport and sorting of vacuolar hydrolases; required for endosomal localization of the CORVET complex; required with YPT52 for MVB biogenesis and sorting; involved in autophagy and ionic stress tolerance; geranylgeranylation required for membrane association; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress; mammalian Rab5 homolog; VPS21 has a paralog, YPT53, that arose from the whole genome duplication

YPT6

Rab family GTPase YPT6, L000002896, L000002948, YLR262C
Rab family GTPase; Ras-like GTP binding protein involved in the secretory pathway, required for fusion of endosome-derived vesicles with the late Golgi, maturation of the vacuolar carboxypeptidase Y; resides temporarily at the Golgi, dissociates into cytosol upon arrival of the Rab GTPaseYpt32p, which also functions in the late Golgi; Golgi-localized form is bound to GTP, while cytosolic form is GDP-bound; homolog of the mammalian Rab6

Intrinsic tethering activity of endosomal Rab proteins.

Lo SY, Brett CL, Plemel RL, Vignali M, Fields S, Gonen T, Merz AJ

Rab small G proteins control membrane trafficking events required for many processes including secretion, lipid metabolism, antigen presentation and growth factor signaling. Rabs recruit effectors that mediate diverse functions including vesicle tethering and fusion. However, many mechanistic questions about Rab-regulated vesicle tethering are unresolved. Using chemically defined reaction systems, we discovered that Vps21, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae ortholog of mammalian endosomal ... [more]
