Rab GTPases cycle. i) GDI binding with GDP-bound Rab proteins mediates the dissociation of membrane-bound Rab GTPases from membranes to the cytosol. ii) GEFs facilitate the conversion to active GTP-bound Rab proteins, whereas the transition to inactive GDP-bound Rab proteins is coordinated by GAPs through catalyzing GTP hydrolysis. iii) GTP-bound Rab proteins interact with multiple effectors to execute specific functions.
