Requirement of Rab5 GTPase during heat stress-induced endocytosis in yeast.

Distinct role of TGN-resident clathrin adaptors for Vps21p activation in the TGN-endosome trafficking pathway.
Title: Distinct role of TGN-resident clathrin adaptors for Vps21p activation in the TGN-endosome trafficking pathway.
In this study, we demonstrate that activated Ypt7p localizes to the vacuolar membrane in cells lacking all yeast Rab5 genes. We also show that the vps21Delta ypt7Delta double mutant exhibits a much severer vacuolar phenotype in comparison with the vps21Delta or ypt7Delta single mutant.
Title: Rab5-independent activation and function of yeast Rab7-like protein, Ypt7p, in the AP-3 pathway.
Data indicate that efficient Vps21 recycling requires both Ypt7 and endosome-vacuole fusion, thus suggesting extended control of a GAP cascade beyond Rab interactions.
Title: Identification of a Rab GTPase-activating protein cascade that controls recycling of the Rab5 GTPase Vps21 from the vacuole.
Finally, three sequential steps of this pathway are delineated: Atg9-dependent exit from the ER en route to autophagy, Ypt1- and core Atgs-mediated pre-autophagsomal-structure organization, and Ypt51-mediated delivery of APs to the vacuole
Title: A Role for Macro-ER-Phagy in ER Quality Control.
The endocytic traffic branches into two routes to reach the vacuole: a Rab5-dependent vacuolar protein sorting pathway and a Rab5-independent AP-3-mediated pathway.
Title: Bifurcation of the endocytic pathway into Rab5-dependent and -independent transport to the vacuole.
Data indicate that Cells lacking both Vps9 and Muk1 closely phenocopy double and triple knock-out strains lacking Rab5 paralogs.
Title: Vps9 family protein Muk1 is the second Rab5 guanosine nucleotide exchange factor in budding yeast.
Endosomal class E compartments accumulate chronically active Vps21, the yeast Rab5A ortholog.
Title: Class E compartments form in response to ESCRT dysfunction in yeast due to hyperactivity of the Vps21 Rab GTPase.
CORVET (class C core vacuole/endosome tethering) binds to SNAREs and Rab5/Vps21-GTP and can specifically tether Vps21-positive membranes.
Title: The CORVET complex promotes tethering and fusion of Rab5/Vps21-positive membranes.
