TBC1 domain family member 17 (TBC1D17)

The protein contains 648 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 72728 Da.

 

Probable GTPase-activating protein for Rab8; its transient association with Rab8 is mediated by OPTN. Inhibits Rab8-mediated endocytic trafficking, such as of transferrin receptor (TfR) and reduces Rab8 recruitnment to tubules emanating from the endocytic recycling compartment (ERC). Involved in regulation of autophagy. Mediates inhibition of autophagy caused by the OPTN variant GLC1E LYS-50; the function requires its catalytic activity, however, the involved Rab is not known.

Tbc1 domain family, member 17; tbc1d17

DESCRIPTION

Small RAB GTPases (see 179508), which are active in their GTP-bound form and inactive in their GDP-bound form, are involved in vesicular trafficking in endocytosis and exocytosis. TBC1D17 functions as a RAB GTPase-activating protein (GAP) that inactivates RAB8 (165040) by catalyzing its GTPase activity (Vaibhava et al., 2012).

CLONING

Vaibhava et al. (2012) reported that full-length 648-amino acid human TBC1D17 has an N-terminal NCL1 (CAPN3; 114240)/HT2A (TRIM32; 602290)/LIN41 (TRIM71) (NHL) repeat domain, followed by a catalytic TRE2 (USP6; 604334)/yeast Bub2/CDC16 (603461) (TBC) domain and a proline-rich C-terminal region. TBC1D17 showed a diffuse cytoplasmic localization with concentration in the juxtanuclear region.

GENE FUNCTION

Using yeast 2-hybrid and protein pull-down assays, Vaibhava et al. (2012) showed that TBC1D17 interacted with the adaptor protein optineurin (OPTN; 602432). Coexpression of optineurin with TBC1D17 enhanced colocalization of TBC1D17 with transferrin receptor (TFRC; 190010)-positive endocytic vesicles. Optineurin and TB1D17 also interacted with RAB8. Catalytically active TBC1D17, but not an inactive mutant, catalyzed GTP-GDP exchange on RAB8, which inhibited association of RAB8 with endocytic tubules and inhibited transferrin (TF; 190000) uptake in HeLa cells. Overexpression, knockdown, and mutation analyses revealed that optineurin was required to mediate interaction between TBC1D17 and RAB8-GTP.

MAPPING

Chalasani et al. (2009) stated that the TBC1D17 gene maps to chromosome 19q13.33. ... More on the omim web site
