Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By comprehensive proteome screen, we identified novel small GTPase Rab-like 3 (Rabl3) as a putative binding partner of Rab11 which is involved in ciliary vesicle formation. We showed that Rabl3 physically interacts with Rab11. We also found that Rabl3 localizes to centrioles by immunofluorescence analysis in RPE1 cells. Furthermore, we observed that Rabl3 depletion causes decrease of primary cilia formation in RPE1 cells.
