ab313575 was shown to react with Rab27A in wild-type U-87 MG cells in immunocytochemistry with loss of signal observed in a Rab27A siRNA knockdown cell line. Wild-type and siRNA knockdown cells were mixed and pelleted at a 1 : 1 ratio on coverslips. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (15 min) then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 (10min) and then blocked with 1x PBS, 0.01% Triton X-100, 5% BSA, 5% NGS. The cells were then incubated with ab313575 at 1/500 dilution overnight at 4°C followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody to (Alexa Fluor® 555) at 0.5 µg/ml. Acquisition of the green (wild-type), red (antibody staining) and far-red (siRNA knockdown) channels was performed. Representative grayscale images of the red channel are shown. Wild-type and siRNA knockdown cells are outlined with yellow and magenta dashed line, respectively. Schematic representation of the mosaic strategy used is shown on the bottom-right panel. Image was acquired with a Zeiss(LSM-880).

Supplementary information

RAB27A and RAB27B are members of the Rab protein family which are small GTPases involved in membrane trafficking. These proteins also known as GTP-binding proteins are critical for vesicle transport and membrane fusion processes. RAB27A has a molecular mass of approximately 25 kDa and RAB27B has a molecular mass around 24.5 kDa. Both proteins express widely in various cell types yet show higher expression in secretory cells particularly in the brain pancreas and melanocytes. RAB27A and RAB27B localize to the membrane of secretory granules aiding in their mobilization.
Biological function summary

The proteins RAB27A and RAB27B facilitate the movement of secretory vesicles toward the cell membrane for exocytosis. RAB27A is a component of protein complexes known as exocyst complexes which are involved in tethering vesicles to the plasma membrane. The proteins recruit effector molecules such as Myosin Va and Slp2-a to the vesicle surface enhancing their docking and fusion with the cell membrane. This process is essential for regulated secretion of hormones neurotransmitters and other important molecules.

Pathways

RAB27A and RAB27B play important roles in the vesicular transport systems that govern secretion pathways including the exocytosis and endocytosis pathways. During exocytosis RAB27A works closely with SNARE proteins to stabilize vesicle fusion. It also interacts with other Rab proteins like RAB3D contributing to efficient vesicle trafficking. In addition RAB27B has a role in synaptic vesicle pathways which are key to neurotransmitter release in neural communication.

Mutations in RAB27A lead to Griscelli syndrome type 2 characterized by immune system dysfunction and pigment dilution. This syndrome occurs due to defective vesicle transport in melanocytes and immune cells. RAB27A is linked with LYST a protein involved in lysosomal trafficking which causes Chediak-Higashi syndrome when mutated. Moreover altered RAB27B expression associates with colorectal cancer progression emphasizing its importance in cellular secretion dysfunctions.

Target data

The small GTPases Rab are key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, from the formation of transport vesicles to their fusion with membranes. Rabs cycle between an inactive GDP-bound form and an active GTP-bound form that is able to recruit to membranes different sets of downstream effectors directly responsible for vesicle formation, movement, tethering and fusion (PubMed : 30771381). RAB27A regulates homeostasis of late endocytic pathway, including endosomal positioning, maturation and secretion (PubMed : 30771381). Plays a role in cytotoxic granule exocytosis in lymphocytes. Required for both granule maturation and granule docking and priming at the immunologic synapse (PubMed : 18812475).
