Scenarios for the distribution of Rab-GTPases and their respective effector proteins on a DCV. a Model 1: Rab-effector complexes on DCVs concentrate before and after vesicle docking. b Model 2: A hypothetical model shows a universal distribution of the Rab protein complexes, which diffuse, and concentrate at the docking site. c Model 3: Hypothetical model generated from our work proposes a global distribution of Rab protein complexes before and after docking that promotes efficient capture, docking, and recapture of DCVs at the plasma membrane.
