Regulation of DENND3, the exchange factor for the small GTPase Rab12 through an intramolecular interaction.
Journal of Biological Chemistry 2017 April 29
The Rab family of small GTPases functions in multiple aspects of cellular membrane trafficking. Proteins bearing adifferentiallyexpressed innormal andneoplastic cells (DENN) domain have emerged as the largest family of Rab-activating guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). Rab12 functions in the initiation of starvation-induced autophagy, and our previous work revealed that its activator, DENN domain-containing protein 3 (DENND3), is phosphorylated and activated upon starvation. However, how the GEF activity of DENND3 toward Rab12 is regulated at the molecular level is still not understood. Here, we combine size-exclusion chromatography, Förster resonance energy transfer, pulldown, and in vitro GEF assays to demonstrate that regulation of GEF activity is achieved through an intramolecular interaction that is controlled by a key residue in DENND3, tyrosine 940. Our study sheds light on the regulation of Rab12 activation and lays the groundwork for characterizing the regulation of other DENN domain-containing proteins.
