Biochemical characterization of Alsin , a Rab 5 and Rac 1 guanine nucleotide exchange factor . ^^^ Sequence motif searches within Alsin predict the presence of Vps 9 , DH , and PH domains , implying that Alsin may function as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor ( GEF ) for Rab 5 and a member of the Rho GTPase family . ^^^ The presence of both Rac 1 and Rab 5 GEF activities makes Alsin a unique dual exchange factor that may couple endocytosis ( via Rab 5 activation ) to cytoskeletal modulation ( via Rac 1 activation ) . . ^^^ |

ALS 2 , a novel guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the small GTPase Rab 5 , is implicated in endosomal dynamics . ^^^ Here we show that the ALS 2 protein specifically binds to small GTPase Rab 5 and functions as a GEF for Rab 5 . ^^^ Ectopically expressed ALS 2 protein localizes with Rab 5 and early endosome antigen 1 ( EEA 1 ) onto early endosomal compartments and stimulates the enlargement of endosomes in cultured cortical neurons . ^^^ The carboxy terminus of ALS 2 protein carrying a VPS 9 domain mediates not only the activation of Rab 5 via a guanine nucleotide exchanging reaction but also the endosomal localization of the ALS 2 protein , while the amino terminal half containing RLD acts suppressive in its membranous localization . ^^^ Taken together , the ALS 2 protein as a novel Rab 5 GEF , ALS2rab5GEF seems to be implicated in the endosomal dynamics in vivo . ^^^ |

Homo oligomerization of ALS 2 through its unique carboxyl terminal regions is essential for the ALS 2 associated Rab 5 guanine nucleotide exchange activity and its regulatory function on endosome trafficking . ^^^ Recently , we have demonstrated that the ALS 2 protein specifically binds to the small GTPase Rab 5 and acts as a GEF ( guanine nucleotide exchange factor ) for Rab 5 . ^^^ |
