| Research Abstract |
In the present study, we investigated the interaction of Rab4 with syntaxin4, a t-SNARE protein implicated in the insulin-induced exocytic fusion of the GLUT4-containing vesicle with the plasma membrane. Rab4 and syntaxin4 were coimmunoprecipitated from the lysates of rat adipocytes. The interaction of the two proteins were attenuated by pretreatment of the cells with insulin but enhanced with GTPgS.A GTPase deficient mutant of Rab4, but not a GTP-binding defective mutant was bound to syntaxin 4, suggesting that the interaction between the two proteins were regulated by the guanine-nucleotide-binding state of Rab4. In addition, we found that the presence of munc-18c, a negative regulator of the SNARE comple formation, displaced Rab4 from syntaxin 4, indicating that the dissociation of munc-18c from syntaxin4 is required for Rab4 to bind to syntaxin 4.
We also clarified that the actin filaments play a critical role in exocytotic recruitment but not in endocytosis of GLUT4 in isolated rat adipocytes.
