Abstract excerpt
Rab6 is a key modulator of protein secretion. The dynein adapter Bicaudal D2 (BicD2) recruits the motors cytoplasmic dynein and kinesin-1 to Rab6GTP-positive vesicles for transport; however, it is unknown how BicD2 recognizes Rab6. Here, we establish a structural model for recognition of Rab6GTP by BicD2, using structure prediction and mutagenesis. The binding site of BicD2 spans two regions of Rab6 that undergo...
