PROSITE documentation PDOC51777RH2 domain profile
The RH2 (RILP homology 2) Rab-binding domain is found in the following animal proteins [1,2,3]:
- Rab interacting lysosomal proteins (RILP), which interacts with Rab7, Rab34, and Rab36.
- RILP-like 1 (RILP-L1), which interacts with Rab12, Rab34, and Rab36.
- RILP-like 2 (RILP-L2), which interacts with Rab34 and Rab36.
- JNK-interacting protein 3 (JIP3), which interacts with Rab36 alone.
- JNK-interacting protein 4 (JIP4), which interacts with Rab36 alone.
The RH2 domain is folded into a long helix α1 and a short helix α2 connected by a very tight loop (see <PDB:1YHN>). The RH2 domain forms a tightly associated four helices homodimer in which both helices α1 and α2 are involved in dimerization. Such a homodimer binds to two separate Rab-GTP molecules on opposite sides, with both helices involved in the interaction with Rab. In the complex interface, although each Rab-GTP interacts with both helices of the RH2 domain, these two helices are contributed by two different molecules, with helix α1 coming from one protomer and helix α2 from the other protomer [2].
The profile we developed covers the entire RH2 domain.
