Abstract excerpt
Optineurin (OPTN), a multifunctional adaptor protein in mammals, plays critical roles in many cellular processes, such as vesicular trafficking and autophagy. Notably, mutations in optineurin are directly associated with many human diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). OPTN can specifically recognize Rab8a and the GTPase-activating protein TBC1D17, and facilitate the inactivation of Rab8a...
