Summary
RAB5C (RAB5C, member RAS oncogene family, HGNC:9785) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q21.2, encoding Ras-related protein Rab-5C (P51148). The small GTPases Rab are key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, from the formation of transport vesicles to their fusion with membranes. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 10.8% of cell lines).
Members of the Rab protein family are small GTPases of the Ras superfamily that are thought to ensure fidelity in the process of docking and/or fusion of vesicles with their correct acceptor compartment (Han et al., 1996 [PubMed 8646882]).

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. Involved in early endocytic trafficking. Required for EEA1 recruitment to early endosomes. Required for EGF and transferrin endocytosis and trafficking through early endosomes.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with EEA1. Interacts with INCA1. Interacts with GDI1, GDI2, CHML and CHM; phosphorylation at Ser-85 disrupts this interaction. Interacts (GTP-bound) with SGSM3; SGSM3 acts as a GAP.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Early endosome membrane. Melanosome.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation of Ser-85 in the switch II region by LRRK2 prevents the association of RAB regulatory proteins, including CHM, CHML and RAB GDP dissociation inhibitors GDI1 and GDI2. (Microbial infection) Glycosylated on arginine residues by S.typhimurium protein Ssek3.
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) including SGSM3, 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, 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 186 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.
