Biochemical and structural characterization of Rab3GAP reveals insights into Rab18 nucleotide exchange activity by Gage M. J. Fairlie, Kha M. Nguyen, Sung-Eun Nam, Alexandria L. Shaw, Matthew A. H. Parson, Hannah R. Shariati, Xinyin Wang, Meredith L. Jenkins, Michael Gong, John E. Burke, Calvin K. Yip

“…Here we show that human Rab3GAP is conformationally flexible and potentially autoinhibited by the C-terminal domain of its Rab3GAP2 subunit. Our high-resolution structure of the catalytic core of Rab3GAP, determined by cryo-EM, shows that the Rab3GAP2 N-terminal domain binds Rab3GAP1 via an extensive interface. …”
