RAB35 Antibody - #DF8710

The small GTPases Rab are key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, from the formation of transport vesicles to their fusion with membranes. Rabs cycle between an inactive GDP-bound form and an active GTP-bound form that is able to recruit to membranes different sets of downstream effectors directly responsible for vesicle formation, movement, tethering and fusion. That Rab is involved in the process of endocytosis and is an essential rate-limiting regulator of the fast recycling pathway back to the plasma membrane. During cytokinesis, required for the postfurrowing terminal steps, namely for intercellular bridge stability and abscission, possibly by controlling phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bis phosphate (PIP2) and SEPT2 localization at the intercellular bridge. May indirectly regulate neurite outgrowth. Together with TBC1D13 may be involved in regulation of insulin-induced glucose transporter SLC2A4/GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane in adipocytes.

AMPylation at Tyr-77 by L.pneumophila DrrA occurs in the switch 2 region and leads to moderate inactivation of the GTPase activity. It appears to prolong the lifetime of the GTP state of RAB1B by restricting access of GTPase effectors to switch 2 and blocking effector-stimulated GTP hydrolysis, thereby rendering RAB35 constitutively active.

Phosphocholinated by L.pneumophila AnkX. Both GDP-bound and GTP-bound forms can be phosphocholinated. Phosphocholination inhibits the GEF activity of DENND1A.

Note: Present on sorting endosomes and recycling endosome tubules (PubMed:16950109). Tends to be enriched in PIP2-positive cell membrane domains (PubMed:16950109). During mitosis, associated with the plasma membrane and present at the ingressing furrow during early cytokinesis as well as at the intercellular bridge later during cytokinesis (PubMed:16950109). Identified in stage I to stage IV melanosomes (PubMed:17081065).

Interacts with DENND1A and DENND1B; in a nucleotide-dependent manner. Interacts with DENND1C; weak interaction which is nucleotide-independent. Interacts (GTP-bound form) with ACAP2 and MICALL1; the interaction is direct and probably recruits ACAP2 and MICALL1 to membranes. Interacts with EHD1; the interaction is indirect through MICALL1 and probably recruits EHD1 to membranes (By similarity). Interacts with GDI1, GDI2, CHM and CHML; phosphorylation at Thr-72 disrupts these interactions.

Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.
