Abstract: Members of the rab family of small GTPases are localized to distinct cellular compartments and function as specific regulators of vesicle transport between organelles. Overexpression of rab5, which is associated with early endosomes and the plasma membrane, increases the rate of endocytosis [Bucci et al. (1992) Cell, 70, 715 - 728]. From sequence alignments and molecular modelling we identified structural elements that might contribute to the definition of the functional specificity of rab5. To test the role of these elements experimentally, we transplanted them onto rab6, which is associated with the Golgi complex. The chimeric proteins were assayed for intracellular localization and stimulation of endocytosis. First, we found that the C-terminus of rab5 could target rab6 to the plasma membrane and early endosomes but it did not confer rab5-like stimulation of endocytosis. Further replacement of other regions revealed that the N-terminus, helix alpha2/loop 5 and helix alpha3/loop 7 were all required to functionally convert rab6 into rab5. Reciprocal hybrids of rab5 containing these regions replaced with those of rab6 were inactive, demonstrating that each region is essential for rab5 function. These results indicate that distinct structural elements specify the localization, membrane association and regulatory function of rab5.
