Abstract excerpt
Ypt51p, a small GTPase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been previously identified as a structural homolog of mammalian Rab5. Although disruption analysis revealed that the protein is required for endocytic transport and for vacuolar protein sorting, the precise step controlled by Ypt51p was not determined. In this work we show that by heterologous expression in animal cells Ypt51p was targeted to Rab5-positive...
