- The balance of membrane protein levels in cells relies on exocytosis delivering proteins to the surface and endocytosis removing them, which is crucial for preventing diseases like type 2 diabetes and neurological disorders.
- Researchers identified a complex called Reps1-Ralbp1-RalA that plays a significant role in regulating surface protein levels through the exocytic pathway.
- The study shows that Ralbp1 interacts with RalA to keep it in an active state, thereby stabilizing RalA's GTP-bound form, which enhances our understanding of GTPase regulation in the exocytic process.
