The TBC (Tre-2/Bub2/Cdc16) is identified as a domain of some proteins or as a protein motif and widely recognized as a conserved one that includes approximately 200 amino acids in all eukaryotes. OverviewTBC was initially identified as a conserved domain among the tre-2 oncogene product and the yeast cell cycle regulators. It has been shown that humans have almost 42 different TBC proteins which differ from each other by having additional motifs and domains (GRAM, RUN, PTB…) and add functional diversification to the family . The most well known of this protein group are TBC1D1 and TBC1D4 which are directly associated with functional diseases. Moreover, most of them have really close relations with other protein domains. For example, it has been demonstrated that some of them act like a GAP (GTPase-activating protein) for small GTPases: Rab activity is modulated in part by GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) and many of these RabGAPs share a Tre2/Bub2/Cdc16(TBC)-domain architecture. However, it is needed much research on these kind of proteins and in this article it explains what is known by now. FunctionsTBC mainly functions as a specific Rab GAP (GTPases activating proteins) by being used as tools to inactivate specific membrane trafficking events. GAPs serve to increase GTPase activity by contributing the residues to the active site and promoting conversion from GTP to GDP form. Such activity of TBC proteins does not always require a close physical interaction although few TBC proteins have shown clear GAP activity towards their binding Rabs.[2] Rab families contribute to defining organelles and controlling specificity and rate of transport through individual pathways. Therefore, TBC Rab-GAPS are essential regulators of intracellular and membrane transports as well as central participants in signal transduction. Nevertheless, not all TBC may have a primary role as a Rab-GAP and conversely, not all Rab-GAP contain TBC. In addition, the fact that this family has been poorly studied makes it then further complicated. Evolution and researchPhylogenetic analysis has provided insight into the evolution of the TBC family. ScrollSaw was implemented as a recent strategy to overcome poor resolution between TBC genes found in standard phylogenetic strategies during initial reconstructions.[3] Significantly, the TBC domain is nearly always smaller than the Rab cohort in any individual genome, suggesting Rab/TBC coevolution. Twenty-one putative TBC sub-classes were founded and identified as a seven robust and two moderately supported clades. Moreover, there has also been systematic analysis in order to identify the target Rabs of TBC proteins. It was, at first, based on the physical interaction between the TBC domain and its substrate Rab. For instance Barr and his coworkers found a specific interaction between [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/B9A6J5 RUTBC3]/RabGAP-5 and Rab5A that activates the GTPase activity of Rab5 isoform. Similarly other research has shown that, among other important aspects, the TBC-Rab interaction alone is insufficient to determine the target of TBC proteins. However, there has been a second approach to identifying the target Rabs of TBC by investigating their in vitro GAP activity. Yet there has been similar discrepancies between this findings of different investigators which can be found in literature and may be attributable to differences between methods of in vitro. In addition, research has shown that TBC proteins are associated with some human diseases. For example, a dysfunction of TBC1D1 and TBC1D4 directly affects insulin actions and glucose uptake. Causing overweight or leanness due to the fact that this two family members of TBC regulate insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane in mammals. Furthermore, many of them have been shown to be associated with cancer, but the exact mechanism by which they are associated with this illness remains largely unknown. Therefore, there’s still much research needed to be done on this biological topic.
