Rab partner recognition sites. Rab (Rab3a, 3RAB) Mg2+-GTP (dark gray) bound structure with the structural elements contributing to partner binding highlighted. (A) Side view showing the Rab canonical effector binding site composed of Switch1, Interswitch, and Switch2; surrounded by complementarity determining regions (CDR1–5, shown in orange). Conserved Rab hydrophobic triad is shown in yellow sticks. The surface representation is shown in the middle, and conservation of surface residues (based on the sequence alignment in Fig. 1) generated using ConSurf web server 150 is presented on the right. (B) Top view showing a new, secondary Rab effector binding site composed of the CDR4 and CDR5 regions flanking the nucleotide binding pocket.
