Abstract
GEFs play a key role in activation and membrane targeting of Rab GTPases. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Thomas et al. (2018) demonstrate how two TRAPP complexes with a common GEF core select distinct Rab substrates through a steric gating mechanism involving their hypervariable tails.
