RAB2A
gene geneOn this page
Summary
RAB2A (RAB2A, member RAS oncogene family, HGNC:9763) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8q12.1-q12.2, encoding Ras-related protein Rab-2A (P61019). The small GTPases Rab are key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, from the formation of transport vesicles to their fusion with membranes.
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Rab family, members of which are small molecular weight guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) that contain highly conserved domains involved in GTP binding and hydrolysis. The Rabs are membrane-bound proteins, involved in vesicular fusion and trafficking. This protein is a resident of pre-Golgi intermediates, and is required for protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi complex. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. 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 active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound states. In their active state, drive transport of vesicular carriers from donor organelles to acceptor organelles to regulate the membrane traffic that maintains organelle identity and morphology. RAB2A regulates autophagy by promoting autophagosome-lysosome fusion via recruitment of the HOPS endosomal tethering complex; this process involves autophagosomal RAB2A and lysosomal RAB39A recruitment of HOPS subcomplexes VPS39-VPS11 and VPS41-VPS16-VPS18-VPS33A, respectively, which assemble into a functional complex to mediate membrane tethering and SNAREs-driven membrane fusion. Required for protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex. Regulates the compacted morphology of the Golgi. Together with RAB2B, redundantly required for efficient autophagic flux.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with PRKCI. Interacts with TRIP11. Interacts (in GTP-bound form) with GARIN1B. Interacts (GTP-bound) with HOPS complex component VPS39; interaction contributes to obtaining a functional HOPS complex that promotes autophagosome-lysosome membrane fusion driven by STX17-SNAP29-VAMP8. In contrast with mouse ortholog, not able to interact with VPS41.
Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane. Melanosome. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Golgi apparatus membrane. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Secretory vesicle. Acrosome. Autophagosome membrane.
Post-translational modifications. Prenylated. Prenylation is required for association with cellular membranes.
Activity regulation. Regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) which promote the exchange of bound GDP for free GTP, GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) which increase the GTP hydrolysis activity, and GDP dissociation inhibitors (GDIs) which inhibit the dissociation of the nucleotide from the GTPase.
Domain organisation. Switch I, switch II and the interswitch regions are characteristic of Rab GTPases and mediate the interactions with Rab downstream effectors. The switch regions undergo conformational changes upon nucleotide binding which drives interaction with specific sets of effector proteins, with most effectors only binding to GTP-bound Rab.
Similarity. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 167 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
