High impact information on Rab11a

  • Rip11 is enriched in polarized epithelial cells where, like Rab11, it is localized to subapical recycling endosomes (ARE) and the apical plasma membrane [1].
  • Rab11 is a GTPase that regulates endosomal trafficking to apical plasma membrane domains in polarized epithelial cells [1].
  • Rip11 is recruited to ARE by binding to Rab11 as well as through a Mg(2+)-dependent interaction of its C2 domain with neutral phospholipids [1].
  • Resensitization was minimally affected by inhibition of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase and phosphatases but was markedly suppressed by disruption of Rab4a and Rab11a [2].
  • Taken together, these results suggest that the context within which a CXXX sequence occurs may also critically control the modification of a protein by prenylation, and that the Rab5 and Rab11 carboxyl termini do not possess conventional CXXX sequences [3].
 

Biological context of Rab11a

  • The cloning was accomplished using polymerase chain reaction amplified with a set of oligonucleotide primers which were designed from the partial amino acid sequences for 24KG [4].
  • We have isolated cDNA clones from a rat liver cDNA library that encode a ras p21-like small GTP-binding protein (24KG) which was purified from the microsomes-Golgi complex fraction of the rat liver [4].
  • Among the Rab proteins tested, we found that besides the previously described Rab3 proteins, only members of the Rab11 family (Rab11a, 11b, and 25) impaired Ca2+-induced exocytosis [5].
  • Because small GTP-binding proteins of Rab family have been implicated as key regulators of membrane and protein trafficking in mammalian cells, this study was designed to test if ethanol-impaired pituitary FSH and LH secretion is associated with changes in Rab proteins, particularly Rab1B, Rab3B, Rab6, and Rab11 [6].
 

Anatomical context of Rab11a

  • The 1.0-kilobase 24KG mRNA corresponding to the isolated cDNA was also detected in various rat tissues, such as brain, testis, spleen, and heart [4].
  • In vivo insulin treatment resulted in the recruitment of Rab11 from the microsomal fraction to the plasma membrane [7].
  • RESULTS: The Rab11 protein was identified as a major component of the GTP-binding fraction and its expression in rat cardiac muscle was confirmed [7].
  • Membrane marker enzyme, 5' nucleotidase activity, and the early and recycling endosome markers Rab4 and Rab11 were used to verify the enrichment of these fractions [8].
  • Rab11a is a member of this GTP hydrolyzing protein class and acts as a mediator of insulin stimulated translocation of the glucose transporter GLUT4 in peripheral tissues including heart and skeletal muscle [9].
 

Associations of Rab11a with chemical compounds

  • This Mr weight was similar to that of the purified 24KG estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis [4].
  • We suggest that Rab11 is involved in the endosomal recycling, sorting and exocytotic movement of the glucose transporter [7].
  • We therefore conclude that the glutamine residue of Rab11a at position 70 is not strictly essential for GTPase activity of this protein in contrast to Ras and other Rab proteins [9].
  • Rab11a and myosin Vb regulate recycling of the M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor [10].
  • Tf and TfRs accumulated in centrally located, Rab11-positive vesicles indicating that CI-976 inhibits export of cargo from the central endocytic recycling compartment [11].
 

Other interactions of Rab11a

  • Most of the intracellular pool of Rab11 overlapped with the high-density GLUT4 pool and most of the transferrin receptor pool [7].
  • Expression of the C-terminal tail of myosin Vb, a Rab11a effector, enhances M4 accumulation in perinuclear endosomes [10].
  • Identification of Rab GTPases 4, 5, 18, and 21 (associated with early endosomes); Rab7 (late endosomes); and Rab11 and Rab25 (recycling endosomes) indicate that a substantial fraction of intracellular AQP2 is present in endosomal compartments [12].
  • Rab11 and possibly VAMP2 may be concentrated in the same relocating foci [13].
