Abstract
GCC185 is a large coiled-coil protein at the trans Golgi network that is required for receipt of transport vesicles inbound from late endosomes and for anchoring noncentrosomal microtubules that emanate from the Golgi. Here, we demonstrate that recruitment of GCC185 to the Golgi is mediated by two Golgi-localized small GTPases of the Rab and Arl families. GCC185 binds Rab6, and mutation of residues needed for Rab binding abolishes Golgi localization. The crystal structure of Rab6 bound to the GCC185 Rab-binding domain reveals that Rab6 recognizes a two-fold symmetric surface on a coiled coil immediately adjacent to a C-terminal GRIP domain. Unexpectedly, Rab6 binding promotes association of Arl1 with the GRIP domain. We present a structure-derived model for dual GTPase membrane attachment that highlights the potential ability of Rab GTPases to reach binding partners at a significant distance from the membrane via their unstructured and membrane-anchored, hypervariable domains.

Figure 3. Accessible Hydrophobic Residues in the Predicted Coiled Coil Are Critical for Rab Binding
(A) Helical wheel projection of a coiled coil predicted for GCC185 residues 1579–1606. Residues in registers “a–g” were predicted by the Paircoil program. Residues at positions “a” and “d” lie in the dimer interface. Boxed residues are candidates for binding interactions with Rab GTPases.
(B and C) Effect of alanine substitutions on Rab binding. Reactions contained wild-type or mutant GST-C-110 ([B] 3 μM, [C] 2 μM) and ^35S-GTPγS-preloaded GTPases ([B] 170 pmol Rab9-His, [C] 190 pmol His-Rab6). Data are mean ± SD.
(D) Mass determination of untagged RBD-87 I1588A/L1595A by multiple angle static light scattering. The gel filtration elution profile of the protein (black line) and molecular mass (gray line) are shown. Polydispersity of the peak was 1.001.

Figure 4. Structure of the Rab6-GCC185 Complex
(A) Ribbon representation of the GCC185 Rab-binding domain dimer (green) and Rab6 (blue) bound to GTP (stick model) and magnesium (sphere). Switch I and II regions of Rab6 (Chattopadhyay et al., 2000) are colored yellow and orange respectively.
(B) View of the Rab6-GCC185-binding interface. A single GCC185 helix (E) out of the two-fold symmetric coiled coil is shown for clarity. Each helix contacts switch regions from two opposed Rab6 molecules A and B. Rab6 switch I and II (including W67) are colored yellow and orange, respectively. Protein backbone (α-carbon trace) and side chains involved in polar and hydrophobic interactions are shown. Carbonyl oxygens are shown for A44, I48, and I1588, and C-Cα bonds have been added to simplify the figure. An anomalous difference Fourier density map of the selenomethionine-substituted crystal (pink, contoured at 6σ) is shown for GCC185.
