General annotation (Comments)

Function

Involved in the trafficking of secretory vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi. Regulates correct targeting and tethering of vesicles to target membranes by catalyzing the selective recruitment of proteins required for tethering and fusion onto membranes. Vesicular transport depends on shuttling of YPT1 between membrane and cytosol by GDI1, probably by recycling it to its membrane of origin after a vesicle fusion event. Required for sorting and transport of proteins from the ER through the Golgi compartment. Also involved in the recycling of membrane proteins.

Enzyme regulation

Alternates between an inactive form bound to GDP and an active form bound to GTP. Activated by the guanine nucleotide-exchange factors (GEFs) DSS4 and TRAPP complex, and inactivated by GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) GYP1, GYP5 and GYP8.

Subunit structure

Forms a complex with the Rab escort protein (REP) MRS6, which is recognized by Rab geranylgeranyltransferase BET2-BET4. Interacts with the Rab GDP dissociation inhibitor GDI1, which can retrieve from and deliver to membranes the GDP-bound and prenylated form of YPT1. Interacts with YIP1, which is required for proper membrane targeting of prenylated YPT1. Interacts with YIF1, YIP3, YIP4 and YIP5.

Subcellular location

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Golgi apparatus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cytoplasm. Note= ER and Golgi when GTP-bound. Cytoplasmic when bound to GDI1.

Post-translational modification

Prenylation is required for interaction with GDI1 and YIP1.

Palmitoylation is required for membrane attachment and biological function.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.
