General Information | Comment | Organism |

malfunction | knockdown of Rab13 blocks pterostilbene-induced mTOR inhibition and autophagy, whereas overexpression of the GTP-containing active form of Rab13 induces mTOR inhibition and autophagy in HUVECs. Upregulation of the active form of small GTPase Rab13 promotes macroautophagy in vascular endothelial cells. Knockdown of Grb2 suppresses pterostilbene or upregulation of the active form of Rab13-induced autophagy. Knockdown of Rab13 inhibits the digestion of cytoplasmic components in pterostilbene-treated HUVECs numerous autophagosome- or autolysosome-like vesicular structures | Homo sapiens |
metabolism | an increasing number of Rab GTPases have been shown to play either critical or accessory roles in various stages of autophagy. Rab1, Rab4, Rab5, Rab11, Rab12, Rab17, Rab23, Rab26, Rab30 and Rab32 participate in autophagosome formation. Rab13 is required for pterostilbene-induced autophagy | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | Macroautophagy (i.e. autophagy) a highly conserved intracellular process by which cytosolic components and damaged organelles are enclosed and degraded by a double membrane-bound structure, can be viewed as a continuous and dynamic membrane transport and fusion process. The GTP-bound active form of Rab13 promotes the interaction between Rab13 and growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2). It promotes macroautophagy in vascular endothelial cells. Rab13 activates the downstream AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and blocks mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling by its functional interaction with Grb2 to regulate autophagy in HUVECs. Rab13 is a regulator of autophagy in VECs under nutrient-enriched conditions. Upregulation of the active form of Rab13 increases its interaction with Grb2, which is required to activate AMPK, leading to the inhibition of mTOR and subsequently inducing autophagy. Rab13 regulated autophagy by interacting with Grb2 in HUVECs | Homo sapiens |
