Also known as NY-MEL-1
Summary
RAB38 (RAB38, member RAS oncogene family, HGNC:9776) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q14.2, encoding Ras-related protein Rab-38 (P57729). The small GTPases Rab are key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, from the formation of transport vesicles to their fusion with membranes.
Enables several functions, including AP-1 adaptor complex binding activity; AP-3 adaptor complex binding activity; and BLOC-2 complex binding activity. Involved in several processes, including endosome to melanosome transport; melanosome assembly; and phagosome acidification. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; lysosome; and mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane contact site.

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. RAB38 may be involved in melanosomal transport and docking. Involved in the proper sorting of TYRP1. Involved in peripheral melanosomal distribution of TYRP1 in melanocytes; the function, which probably is implicating vesicle-trafficking, includes cooperation with ANKRD27 and VAMP7. Plays a role in the maturation of phagosomes that engulf pathogens, such as S.aureus and M.tuberculosis. Plays an important role in the control of melanin production and melanosome biogenesis. In concert with RAB32, regulates the proper trafficking of melanogenic enzymes TYR, TYRP1 and DCT/TYRP2 to melanosomes in melanocytes.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with ANKRD27.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Melanosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Phagosome. Phagosome membrane. Melanosome membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in melanocytes.
Post-translational modifications. Although at least one in vitro system can process and methylate the prenylated C-terminal, in an in vitro system that normally express Rab-38 and in vivo the prenylated C-terminal is not proteolytically processed and not methylated.
Activity regulation. Regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) including the BLOC-3 complex composed of HPS1 and HPS4 which promote the exchange of bound GDP for free GTP. Regulated by GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) including SGSM2 which increase the GTP hydrolysis activity. Inhibited by GDP dissociation inhibitors (GDIs).
Domain organisation. Switch 1, switch 2 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, with most effectors only binding to GTP-bound Rab.
Similarity. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.
