High impact information on RABGEF1

  • Here, we report that Rabex-5, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rab5, binds to Ub through two independent UBDs [1].
  • The other UBD, RUZ (Rabex-5 ubiquitin binding zinc finger) binds to a surface of Ub centered on Asp58(Ub) and distinct from the "canonical" Ile44(Ub)-based surface [1].
  • Rabex-5 forms a tight physical complex with Rabaptin-5, and this complex is essential for endocytic membrane fusion [2].
  • Two recent reports describe the crystal structure of the Rab5 guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor Rabex-5 and show that it contains two novel ubiquitin-binding domains [3].
  • These observations extend our understanding of the regulation of Rabex-5 by Rabaptin-5 [4].
 

Anatomical context of RABGEF1

 

Other interactions of RABGEF1

  • The yet unidentified cDNA of the human Rabex5 gene and the 3' untranslated region of the human caldesmon gene were cloned [6].
