Acts as a GDP-GTP exchange factor (GEF) for the small GTPase Rab1 (RAB1A, RAB1B or RAB1C), thereby converting Rab1 to an active GTP-bound state, leading to the incorporation of Rab1 into LCVs. Also shows RabGDI displacement factor (GDF) activity; however, this probably represents a passive activity following the GEF activity. Also acts as an adenylyltransferase by mediating the addition of adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) to 'Tyr-77' of host RAB1B, thereby rendering RAB1B constitutively active. Also has adenylyltransferase activity towards Rab6 and Rab35. Also displays guanylyltransferase activity by mediating the addition of guanosine 5'-monophosphate (GMP) to host RAB1B in vitro; however such activity remains uncertain in vivo. Specifically binds phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P) lipids on the cytosolic surface of the phagosomal membrane shortly after infection.

Publication Abstract from PubMed GDP-bound prenylated Rabs, sequestered by GDI (GDP dissociation inhibitor) in the cytosol, are delivered to destined sub-cellular compartment and subsequently activated by GEFs (guanine nucleotide exchange factors) catalysing GDP-to-GTP exchange. The dissociation of GDI from Rabs is believed to require a GDF (GDI displacement factor). Only two RabGDFs, human PRA-1 and Legionella pneumophila SidM/DrrA, have been identified so far and the molecular mechanism of GDF is elusive. Here, we present the structure of a SidM/DrrA fragment possessing dual GEF and GDF activity in complex with Rab1. SidM/DrrA reconfigures the Switch regions of the GTPase domain of Rab1, as eukaryotic GEFs do toward cognate Rabs. Structure-based mutational analyses show that the surface of SidM/DrrA, catalysing nucleotide exchange, is involved in GDI1 displacement from prenylated Rab1:GDP. In comparison with an eukaryotic GEF TRAPP I, this bacterial GEF/GDF exhibits high binding affinity for Rab1 with GDP retained at the active site, which appears as the key feature for the GDF activity of the protein.
