Structural insights into assembly of TRAPPII and its activation of Rab11/Ypt32.
Current opinion in structural biology(2023)
Abstract
Transport protein particle (TRAPP) complexes belong to the multisubunit tethering complex. They are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) that play essential roles in secretory and endocytic recycling pathway and autophagy. There are two major forms of TRAPP complexes, TRAPPII and TRAPPIII, which share a core set of small subunits. TRAPPIII activates Rab1, while TRAPPII primarily activates Rab11. A steric gating mechanism has been proposed to control the substrate selection in vivo. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying the transition from TRAPPIII's GEF activity for Rab1 to TRAPPII's GEF activity for Rab11 and the roles of the complex-specific subunits in this transition are insufficiently understood. In this review, we discuss recent advances in understanding the mechanism of specific activation of Rab11/Ypt32 by TRAPPII, with a particular focus on new findings from structural studies.
