Rabphilin-3A is a putative target protein for Rab3A, a small GTP-binding protein particularly implicated in neurotransmitter release. Rabphilin-3A interacts more preferentially with GTP-Rab3A than with GDP-Rab3A. Moreover, Rabphilin-3A shows a weak activity to stimulate the GTPase activity of Rab3A and a strong activity to inhibit the Rab3A GTPase-activating protein (GAP)-stimulated GTPase activity of Rab3A. Here, we show that Rabphilin-3A has another activity to stimulate the GDP/GTP exchange reaction of Rab3A. Rabphilin-3A may keep Rab3A continuously in the GTP-bound form by converting again GDP-Rab3A, which may be converted from GTP-Rab3A by Rab3A GAP, to GTP-Rab3A, until the function of Rab3A is accomplished.

D016367 Baculoviridae Family of INSECT VIRUSES which contain polyhedron-shaped or ovocylindrical occlusion bodies. The genera include ALPHABACULOVIRUS; GAMMABACULOVIRUS; and DELTABACULOVIRUS (commonly known as NUCLEOPOLYHEDROVIRUSES) and BETABACULOVIRUS (commonly known as GRANULOVIRUSES). Baculovirus vectors are used for expression of foreign genes in insects and as BIOPESTICIDES for controlling insect populations. Baculovirus,Baculoviruses
D048868 Adaptor Proteins, Signal Transducing A broad category of carrier proteins that play a role in SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION. They generally contain several modular domains, each of which having its own binding activity, and act by forming complexes with other intracellular-signaling molecules. Signal-transducing adaptor proteins lack enzyme activity, however their activity can be modulated by other signal-transducing enzymes Signal Transducing Adaptor Proteins
