J Cell Biol. 135:1996;1741-1747 Along with [39] and [40], this article provides evidence of a role for rabphilin in the regulation of exocytosis. In chromaffin cells [39], overexpression of rabphilin enhanced regulated secretion while anti-sense downregulation of expression, as well as introduction of soluble fragments, reduced regulated secretion from both chromaffin cells [39] and PC12 cells [40]. Rabphilin was also found to be expressed in mouse eggs (demonstrating that it is not restricted to neuroendocrine cells), where soluble rabphilin fragments were shown to inhibit cortical granule exocytosis [41]. of special interest.

J Biol Chem. 271:1996;31775-31778 In this study, an interaction between rabphilin and α-actinin was identified with a yeast two-hybrid screen. The prospect that this is a functional interaction is supported by the observation that recombinant rabphilin stimulated the actin-bundling activity of α-actinin. This effect was found to be mediated by the amino-terminal rab3-interacting region and not the carboxy-terminal C2-domain-containing region of rabphilin. of special interest.
