Scientific Background

RAB5A(Ras-associated protein RAB5A), also called RAB5, is a protein that in humans is encoded by \nthe RAB5A gene. RAB5 is a rate-limiting component of the machinery regulating the kinetics of \nmembrane traffic in the early endocytic pathway. The RAB5A gene is mapped on 3p24.3. Tuberin \nfunctions as a RAB5GAP in vivo to negatively regulate RAB5-GTP activity in endocytosis. Ectopically \nexpressed ALS2 localized with RAB5 and early endosome antigen-1 onto early endosomal \ncompartments and stimulated the enlargement of endosomes in cultured cortical neurons. RAB5 is \nindispensable for a form of receptor tyrosine kinase-induced actin remodeling called circular \nruffling. RAB5 signals to the actin cytoskeleton through RNTRE, a RAB5-specific GTPase-activating \nprotein (GAP). RAB5 activity on phagosome membranes began to increase on disassembly of the actin \ncoat encapsulating phagosomes. RAB5 activation was either continuous or repetitive for up to 10 \nminutes, but it ended before the collapse of engulfed apoptotic cells. Expression of a dominant-negative \nmutant of RAB5 delayed this collapse of apoptotic thymocytes, showing a role for RAB5 in phagosome \nmaturation.
