Guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI) regulates the recycling of Rab GTPases involved in vesicle targeting and fusion. We have analyzed the requirement for conserved amino acid residues in the binding of Rab1A and the function of GDI in transport of cargo between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi apparatus. Using a new approach to monitor GDI-Rab interactions based on the change in fluorescence associated with the release of methylanthraniloyl guanosine di(tri)phosphate-GDP (mGDP) from Rab, we show that residues previously implicated in the binding of the synapse-specific Rab3A, including Gln-236, Arg-240, and Thr-248, are essential for the binding of Rab1A. Mutation of each of these residues has potent effects on the ability of GDI to remove Rab1A from membranes and inhibit ER to Golgi transport in vitro. Given the sequence divergence between Rab1A and 3A (35% identity), these residues are proposed to play a general role in GDI function in the cell. In contrast, several other residues found within or flanking the Rab-binding region were found to have differential effects in the recognition and recycling of Rab1A and 3A, and therefore direct selective interaction of GDI with individual Rab proteins. Intriguingly, mutation of one residue, Arg-70, led to a reduction of Rab1A binding, failed to extract Rab1A from membranes in vitro, yet bound membranes tightly and potently inhibited ER to Golgi transport. These results provide evidence that novel membrane-associated factor(s) mediate Rab-independent GDI interaction with membranes.

D004721 Endoplasmic Reticulum A system of cisternae in the CYTOPLASM of many cells. In places the endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the plasma membrane (CELL MEMBRANE) or outer membrane of the nuclear envelope. If the outer surfaces of the endoplasmic reticulum membranes are coated with ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum is said to be rough-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, ROUGH); otherwise it is said to be smooth-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, SMOOTH). (King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed) Ergastoplasm,Reticulum, Endoplasmic
D006056 Golgi Apparatus A stack of flattened vesicles that functions in posttranslational processing and sorting of proteins, receiving them from the rough ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM and directing them to secretory vesicles, LYSOSOMES, or the CELL MEMBRANE. The movement of proteins takes place by transfer vesicles that bud off from the rough endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus and fuse with the Golgi, lysosomes or cell membrane.

D001692 Biological Transport The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) through a biological system at the cellular level.
