Rab7 - or in yeast, Ypt7p - governs membrane trafficking in the late endocytic and autophagic pathways. Rab7 also regulates mitochondrion-lysosome contacts, the sites of mitochondrial fission. Like all Rab GTPases, Rab7 cycles between an "active" GTP-bound form that binds downstream effectors - e.g., the HOPS and retromer complexes and the dynactin-binding Rab-interacting lysosomal protein (RILP) - and an "inactive" GDP-bound form that cannot bind effectors. Accessory proteins regulate the nucle ...[more]
