== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RAB35_HUMAN RAB35_HUMAN] The small GTPases Rab are key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, from the formation of transport vesicles to their fusion with membranes. Rabs cycle between an inactive GDP-bound form and an active GTP-bound form that is able to recruit to membranes different sets of downstream effectors directly responsible for vesicle formation, movement, tethering and fusion. That Rab is involved in the process of endocytosis and is an essential rate-limiting regulator of the fast recycling pathway back to the plasma membrane. During cytokinesis, required for the postfurrowing terminal steps, namely for intercellular bridge stability and abscission, possibly by controlling phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bis phosphate (PIP2) and SEPT2 localization at the intercellular bridge. May indirectly regulate neurite outgrowth.<ref>PMID:16950109</ref> <ref>PMID:21951725</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Rab35, a master regulator of membrane trafficking, regulates diverse cellular processes and is associated with various human diseases. Although a number of effectors have been identified, the molecular basis of Rab35-effector interactions remains unclear. Here, we provide the high-resolution crystal structures of Rab35 in complex with its two specific effectors ACAP2 and RUSC2, respectively. In the Rab35/ACAP2 complex structure, Rab35 binds to the terminal ankyrin repeat and a C-terminal extended alpha helix of ACAP2, revealing a previously uncharacterized binding mode both for Rabs and ankyrin repeats. In the Rab35/RUSC2 complex structure, Arg1015 of RUSC2 functions as a "pseudo-arginine finger" that stabilizes the GTP-bound Rab35, thus facilitating the assembly of Rab35/RUSC2 complex. The structural analysis allows us to design specific Rab35 mutants capable of eliminating Rab35/ACAP2 and Rab35/RUSC2 interactions, but not interfering with other effector bindings. The atomic structures also offer possible explanations to disease-associated mutants identified at the Rab35-effector interfaces.
