Gene Summary
Rab6 (Rab6) encodes a member of the Rab family, which are small Ras-like GTPases involved in vesicle trafficking. The Rab6 product localizes on late Golgi, and regulates vesicle trafficking within Golgi, post-Golgi, and endosome to Golgi. [Date last reviewed: 2018-09-20] (FlyBase Gene Snapshot)

Gene Snapshot
Rab6 (Rab6) encodes a member of the Rab family, which are small Ras-like GTPases involved in vesicle trafficking. The Rab6 product localizes on late Golgi, and regulates vesicle trafficking within Golgi, post-Golgi, and endosome to Golgi. [Date last reviewed: 2018-09-20]
Gene Group (FlyBase)
RAB GTPASES -
The Rab family are members of the Ras superfamily of small GTPases. Rabs regulate vesicle trafficking including cargo selection, vesicle budding, transport, docking and targeting. They localize to different intracellular compartments directed by specific isoprenylation of C-terminal motifs. (Adapted from PMID:15731001).
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
Protein transport (PubMed:17329360, PubMed:17827179, PubMed:18833296, PubMed:21835342, PubMed:22928698, PubMed:33704067, PubMed:9685396). Regulator of membrane traffic from the Golgi apparatus towards the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (PubMed:21795785). Mediates membrane trafficking during egg chamber growth and organization, possibly upstream of exocyst component Sec5. Also during oogenesis, plays a role, together with BicD but independently of Sec5, in the polarization of the oocyte microtubule cytoskeleton, in the localization of oskar mRNA and in the anterodorsal secretion of grk. Required for anterograde opsin transport through the ER-Golgi complex. Plays a role, together with Rich, in regulating CadN transport in photoreceptor cells which is required for the formation of normal synaptic connections between axons from the inner photoreceptor cells in the eye and postsynaptic cells in the brain medulla layer M6 (PubMed:21835342). Necessary for proper development of bristle shafts of macrochaete and microchaete on the head, thorax and scutellum. Modulates Notch signaling (PubMed:10459009). As a key regulator of vesicular traffic, plays a critical role in the regulation of actin organization and is required for normal rates of phagocytic uptake during phagocytosis involved in defense against viral and fungal infection.

Summary (Interactive Fly)

small GTPase required for membrane trafficking - required for organization and growth of the egg chamber and the polarization of the microtubule cytoskeleton and localization of oskar mRNA - involved in trafficking Notch protein during bristle development and rhodopsin the the eye

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Subunit Structure (UniProtKB)

Interacts with Rich and Act5C (PubMed:21835342, PubMed:22928698). Interacts with BicD (via C-terminal domain) (PubMed:17329360, PubMed:17827179). Interacts (in GTP-bound) with GCC1/CG10703 and cbs (PubMed:19001129). Interacts with Gorab (via C-terminus); binds to a Gorab homodimer, this interaction seems to be required for trans-Golgi localization of Gorab (PubMed:33704067).

      dsRNA has been made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene.

      dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.

      The Rab6 gene is an essential gene, however, it has limited effects on development beyond the larval stage. Only the mechanosensory bristles on the head, notum and scutellum are affected by Rab6 mutations.

      Mutants isolated in a screen of the second chromosome identifying genes affecting disc morphology.

      Rab6 is required for anterograde transport of rhodopsin through the ER-Golgi complex.

      Isolated from a Drosophila head cDNA library.
