Interpro abstract (IPR018514): | Regeneration of injured axons at neuromuscular junctions has been assumed to be regulated by extra-cellular factors that promote neurite outgrowth. A novel neurite outgrowth factor from chick denervated skeletal muscle has been cloned and characterised. The protein, termed neurocrescin (rabaptin), has been shown to be secreted in an activity-dependent fashion [ (PUBMED:9427343) ]. Rabaptin is a 100kDa coiled-coil protein that interacts with the GTP form of the small GTPase Rab5, a potent regulator of endocytic transport [ (PUBMED:8521472) ]. It is mainly cytosolic, but a fraction co-localises with Rab5 to early endosomes. Rab5 recruits rabaptin-5 to purified early endosomes in a GTP-dependent manner, demonstrating functional similarities with other members of the Ras superfamily. Immunodepletion of rabaptin-5 from cytosol strongly inhibits Rab5-dependent early endosome fusion. Thus, rabaptin-5 is a Rab effector required for membrane docking and fusion. |
