Superfamily: VPS9 domain

Rab proteins are a family of signal-transducing GTPases that cycle between active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound states. The Rab5 GTPase is an essential regulator of endocytosis and endosome biogenesis. Rab5 is activated by GDP-GTP exchange factors (GEFs) that contain a VPS9 domain and generate the Rab5-GTP complex PMID:16330212. The VPS9 domain catalyzes nucleotide exchange on Rab5 or the yeast homologue VPS21. This domain constitutes the central part of the yeast VPS9 (vacuolar protein sorting-associated) protein, a GEF for VPS21 PMID:17450153. Members of this superfamily share the structure of the VPS9 domain.
