| Abstract | Membrane trafficking is regulated by small Ras-like GDP/GTP binding proteins of the Rab subfamily (Rab GTPases) that cycle between membranes and cytosol depending on their nucleotide state. The GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) solubilizes prenylated Rab GTPases from and shuttles them between membranes in the form of a soluble cytosolic complex. We use attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to directly observe extraction of Rab GTPases from model membranes by GDI. In their native form, most Rab GTPases are doubly geranylgeranylated at the C terminus to achieve localization to the membrane. We find that monogeranylgeranylated Rab35 and Rab1b reversibly bind to a negatively charged model membrane. Correct folding and GTPase activity of the membrane-bound protein can be evaluated. The dissociation kinetics depends on the C-terminal sequence and charge of the GTPases. The attenuated total reflection experiments show that GDI genuinely accelerates the intrinsic Rab membrane dissociation. The extraction process is characterized and occurs in a nucleotide-dependent manner. Furthermore, we find that phosphocholination of Rab35, which is catalyzed by the Legionella pneumophila protein AnkX, interferes with the ability of GDI to extract Rab35 from the membrane. The attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy approach enables label-free investigation of the interaction between GDI and Rab GTPases in a membrane environment. Thereby, GDI is revealed to actively extract monogeranylgeranylated membrane-bound Rab GTPases and, thus, is not merely a solubilization factor. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
