    basic FUNCTION
  • targeting OGT to transcrtptional complexes for glycosylation of transcriptional proteins
  • playing a role with TRAK2 in protein and/or organelle transport in excitable cells in a manner analogous to glutamate receptor-interacting-protein 1
  • role in the regulation of HGS-mediated endosomal sorting and have important implications for understanding hypertonia associated with neurological disorders
  • pivotal contribution of the endogenous TRAK family of kinesin adaptors TRAK1 and TRAK2 to the regulation of mitochondrial mobility
  • role for TRAK1 as an endogenous mediator of mitochondrial trafficking in axons of hippocampal neurons
  • central role for TRAK1 and TRAK2 in mitochondrial trafficking mechanisms but suggesing that the contributions of each to the mediation and regulation of this transport may be distinct
  • TRAK1 and TRAK2, which link mitochondria to microtubule-based motors, are required for axonal and dendritic mitochondrial motility and utilize different transport machineries to steer mitochondria into axons and dendrites
  • pivotal role for TRAK1 and TRAK2 in the transport of mitochondria and in the intracellular transport of GABAA receptors
  • HAP1, TRAK1 and TRAK2 have a degree of common function, particularly regarding intracellular receptor trafficking
  • kinesin adaptor proteins, TRAK1 and TRAK2, play an important role in mitochondrial transport in neurons
  • TRAK1 preferentially controls mitochondrial transport in axons of hippocampal neurons
  • in mature hippocampal and cortical neurons, TRAK1 predominantly mediates axonal mitochondrial transport whereas dendritic transport is mediated via TRAK2
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • component of a complex with OGT, POLR2 and transcriptional factors
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • OGT
  • interacts with O-GlcNAc transferase, with RHOT1/Miro-1 and RHOT2/Miro-2
  • associate with kinesin
  • selective binding by TRAK1 and/or TRAK2 to different members of the kinesin transport family or to RHOT1 and RHOT2 may represent crucial regulatory points in controlling the traffic of mitochondrial cargoes in neurons
  • TRAK1 binds to both kinesin-1 and dynein/dynactin, is prominently localized in axons, and is needed for normal axon outgrowth
  • DISC1 associates robustly with TRAK1 which is, in turn, known to interact with the outer mitochondrial membrane proteins RHOT1/2, linking mitochondria to the kinesin motor for microtubule-based subcellular trafficking
  • DISC1 couples to the mitochondrial transport and fusion machinery via interaction with the outer mitochondrial membrane GTPase proteins RHOT1, RHOT2, the TRAK1 and TRAK2 mitochondrial trafficking adaptors, and the mitochondrial fusion proteins (mitofusins)
