Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanism underlying the post-Golgi transport of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) remains poorly understood. Here we determine the role of Rab8 GTPase, which modulates vesicular protein transport between the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and the plasma membrane, in the cell surface targeting of alpha(2B)- and beta(2)-adrenergic receptors (AR). Transient expression of GDP- and GTP-bound Rab8 mutants...
