Abstract excerpt
Ras-related protein (Rab-5a) is primarily involved in the regulation of early endosome fusion during endocytosis and takes part in the budding process. During GTP hydrolysis, Rab5a was spotted in the cytoplasmic side of early endosomes in association with the GTP. Previous study suggested that the substitution of alanine with proline at position 30 of Rab5a reduces the GTPase activity around 12-fold, while, with...
