== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/VPS21_YEAST VPS21_YEAST]] Required for protein transport to the vacuole. Involved in two vesicle trafficking steps to the prevacuolar compartment (PVC), regulating the docking of endosomes and Golgi vesicles to the PVC by interacting with PEP7/VAC1 on the PVC membrane and promoting SNARE complex formation.<ref>PMID:10679018</ref> <ref>PMID:8137814</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Ypt/Rab proteins are membrane-associated small GTP-binding proteins which play a central role in the coordination, activation and regulation of vesicle-mediated transport in eukaryotic cells. We present the 1.5 A high-resolution crystal structure of Ypt51 in its active, GppNHp-bound conformation. Ypt51 is an important regulator involved in the endocytic membrane traffic of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The structure reveals small but significant structural differences compared with H-Ras p21. The effector loop and the catalytic loop are well defined and stabilized by extensive hydrophobic interactions. The switch I and switch II regions form a well-defined epitope for hypothetical effector protein binding. Sequence comparisons between the different isoforms Ypt51, Ypt52 and Ypt53 provide the first insights into determinants for specific effector binding and for fine-tuning of the intrinsic GTP-hydrolysis rate.
