Summary
RAB33B (RAB33B, member RAS oncogene family, HGNC:16075) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4q31.1, encoding Ras-related protein Rab-33B (Q9H082). The small GTPases Rab are key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, from the formation of transport vesicles to their fusion with membranes.
This gene encodes a small GTP-binding protein of the Rab GTPase family, whose members function in vesicle transport during protein secretion and endocytosis. Rab GTPases are active, membrane-associated proteins that recruit effector proteins in the GTP-bound state and inactive cytosolic proteins when in a GDP-bound state. The protein encoded by this gene is ubiquitously expressed and has been implicated in Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum cycling of Golgi enzymes. In addition, this protein regulates Golgi homeostasis and coordinates intra-Golgi retrograde trafficking. Allelic variants in this gene have been associated with Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome and Smith-McCort dysplasia 2, which are autosomal recessive spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasias characterized by skeletal abnormalities.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
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 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. RAB33B acts, in coordination with RAB6A, to regulate intra-Golgi retrograde trafficking. Participates in autophagosome formation by recruiting the ATG12-ATG5-ATG16L1 complex to phagophores, probably in a nucleotide-independent manner.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts (GTP- and GDP-bound forms) with ATG16L1; the complex consists of a tetramer where two RAB33B molecules bind independently one molecule of the ATG16L1 homodimer; the interaction promotes ATG12-ATG5-ATG16L1 complex recruitment to phagophores. Interacts with ATG16L2; however interaction is approximately hundred times lower than for ATG16L1. Interacts with RIC1 (via C-terminus domain); the interaction is direct with a preference for RAB33B-GTP. Interacts with RGP1.
Subcellular location. Golgi apparatus membrane. Golgi apparatus. cis-Golgi network. Preautophagosomal structure membrane.
Post-translational modifications. Prenylated.
Disease relevance. Smith-McCort dysplasia 2 (SMC2) [MIM:615222] A rare autosomal recessive osteochondrodysplasia with skeletal features identical to those of Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome, but with normal intelligence and no microcephaly. It is characterized by short limbs and trunk with barrel-shaped chest. The radiographic phenotype includes platyspondyly, generalized abnormalities of the epiphyses and metaphyses, and a distinctive lacy appearance of the iliac crest. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) which promote the exchange of bound GDP for free GTP. Regulated by GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) such as SGSM2 which increase the GTP hydrolysis activity. Inhibited by GDP dissociation inhibitors (GDIs).
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 drive interaction with specific sets of effector proteins. Although most effectors only bind GTP-bound Rab, ATG16L1 effector binds both GTP- and GDP-bound RAB33B.
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 30 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.
