    text
  • localized to endosomes
  • resides in a late endosome microdomain together with mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPRs) and PLIN3
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the transport of proteins between the endosomes and the trans Golgi network
  • GTPase activity
  • with the proteins with which it interacts seem critical for the maintenance of specific late endocytic compartments and endosome/lysosome localization
  • implicated in the regulation of endocytic pathways
  • regulates retrograde transport from late endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) through interaction with several effectors
  • RAB9A and RAB9B, which are essential for alternative autophagy, but not conventional macroautophagy, severely suppressed mitophagy
  • RAB9A and its co-regulatory GTPases control STX13-mediated cargo delivery to maturing melanosomes
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS cellular trafficking transport

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule nucleotide,
  • GTP
  • protein
  • interaction with BLOC-3, interaction mediated by HPS4 and the switch I and II regions of RAB9A
  • RAB9A stability on late endosomes required interaction with PLIN3
  • GCC2 ia a RAB9A effector that is required for Mannose 6-phosphate receptor recycling from endosomes to the TGN in living cells
  • RAB9A binding did not influence GAP activity of bead-bound SGSM2 protein
  • SGSM1 is a TBC domain-containing protein that binds to RAB9A specifically but is not a GAP for RAB9A
  • RAB9B can bind to SGSM1 probably in a similar manner as RAB9A
  • potential involvement of RAB9A in the regulation of the SGSM2 localization and in the trafficking of melanogenic enzymes (RAB32, RAB38, TYRP1)
  • RAB9A, competes with the catalytic subunit PPP2CA in binding to PPP2R1A, which has an important role in controlling the PPP2CA catalytic activity, compromised in several solid tumors and leukemias
  • HPS4 is required for activation of RAB32/RAB38 GTPases in melanogenesis, but its RAB9 activity is dispensable for melanogenesis
