Rab GDP dissociation inhibitor beta (GDI2)

The protein contains 445 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 50663 Da.

 

Regulates the GDP/GTP exchange reaction of most Rab proteins by inhibiting the dissociation of GDP from them, and the subsequent binding of GTP to them. (updated: March 4, 2015)

DESCRIPTION

GDI-beta (GDI2) is a member of the GDP-dissociation inhibitor family, which includes GDI-alpha (GDI1; 300104). The rab GDIs modulate the activity of G proteins of the rab family and play a role in the regulation of vesicle-mediated cellular transport (summary by Sedlacek et al., 1998).

CLONING

Shisheva et al. (1994) cloned mouse RABGDIB (which they referred to as 'smg p25A GDI') and reported the sequence. Sedlacek et al. (1994) found that the human RABGDIB sequence is 86.5% similar to RABGDIA, which they referred to as 'XAP-4.' Bachner et al. (1995) studied expression patterns of the 2 human genes. They showed that the 2.5-kb mRNA for RABGDIB is ubiquitously expressed, in contrast to RABGDIA, which is expressed primarily in neural and sensory tissues. Rak et al. (2003) used a combination of chemical synthesis and protein engineering to generate and crystallize the monoprenylated YPT1-RABGDI complex. The structure of this complex was determined to 1.5-angstrom resolution and provided a structural basis for the ability of RABGDI to inhibit nucleotide release by RAB proteins. Isoprenoid binding requires a conformational change that opens a cavity in the hydrophobic core of its domain II. Analysis of the structure provided a molecular basis for understanding a RABGDI mutant that causes mental retardation.

GENE STRUCTURE

The GDI-beta gene contains 11 exons (Sedlacek et al., 1998).

MAPPING

By in situ hybridization, Sedlacek et al. (1998) demonstrated that the GDI2 gene maps to 10p15; a processed pseudogene maps to 7p13-p11. ... More on the omim web site
