RAB7, a small GTPase of the Rab family is associated with both endosomes and lysosomes. It facilitates endosomal maturation, transport from late endosomes to lysosomes, and the positioning of endosomes and lysosomes via regulating their movement along the cytoskeleton. RAB7 is inactivated through hydrolysis of bound GTP into GDP by its intrinsic GTPase activity, which is catalysed by the activity of a GAP (GTPase activating protein).
TBC1 domain family member 2A (TBC1D2A also referred as ARMUS for variant c; PARIS1 for variant a) is a member of the TBC/RabGAP family (Tre2/Bub2/Cdc16; TBC domain) that specifically inactivates RAB7 by accelerating its GTPase activity. TBC1D2A binds specifically to activated Rac1 and its C-terminal TBC/RabGAP domain inactivates RAB7 to promote ARF6-induced E-Cadherin degradation (Frasa et al. 2010). During the regulation of autophagy, TBC1D2A is recruited to autophagosomes by interacting with LC3, a core autophagy regulator, thereby inhibiting RAB7 (Carroll et al. 2013)
