GUANINE NUCLEOTIDE DISSOCIATION INHIBITOR, ALPHA-ISOFORM
OverviewOverview
The crystal structure of the bovine alpha-isoform of Rab GDP-dissociation, inhibitor (GDI), which functions in vesicle-membrane transport to recycle, and regulate Rab GTPases, has been determined to a resolution of 1.81 A., GDI is constructed of two main structural units, a large complex, multisheet domain I and a smaller alpha-helical domain II. The structural, organization of domain I is surprisingly closely related to FAD-containing, monooxygenases and oxidases. Sequence-conserved regions common to GDI and, the choroideraemia gene product, which delivers Rab to catalytic subunits, of Rab geranylgeranyltransferase II, are clustered on one face of the, molecule. The two most sequence-conserved regions, which form a compact, structure at the apex of GDI, are shown by site-directed mutagenesis to, play a critical role in the binding of Rab proteins.
