In C. elegans, the DENN-domain protein RME-4 functions as a GEF activator of RAB-35 (Rab35 ortholog); RME-4 binds RAB-35 in its GDP-loaded conformation, localizes to clathrin-coated pits, and recruits RAB-35 to endosomes for receptor recycling. Genetic epistasis places RAB-35 downstream of clathrin, upstream of RAB-7, and synergistically with recycling regulators RAB-11 and RME-1. |
