General annotation (Comments)

Function

Multifuntional GTPase involved in a variety of cellular processes including gene expression, cell migration, cell proliferation, oncogenic transformation and membrane trafficking. Accomplishes its multiple functions by interacting with distinct downstream effectors. Acts as a GTP sensor for GTP-dependent exocytosis of dense core vesicles. Plays a role in the early stages of cytokinesis and is required to tether the exocyst to the cytokinetic furrow. Key regulator of LPAR1 signaling and competes with ADRBK1 for binding to LPAR1 thus affecting the signaling properties of the receptor. Required for anchorage-independent proliferation of transformed cells By similarity. The RALA-exocyst complex regulates integrin-dependent membrane raft exocytosis and growth signaling. Ref.6

Enzyme regulation

Alternate between an inactive form bound to GDP and an active form bound to GTP. Activated by a guanine nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) and inactivated by a GTPase-activating protein (GAP).

Subunit structure

Interacts with CDC42 By similarity. Interacts with EXOC8 and EXOC2. EXOC2 and EXOC8 have overlapping binding sites and compete for RALA binding By similarity. Interacts with RALGPS1 By similarity. Interacts with RALBP1 via its effector domain. Interacts with LPAR1 and LPAR2. Interacts with ADRBK1 in response to LPAR1 activation. RALA and ADRBK1 mutually inhibit each other's binding to LPAR1 By similarity. Ref.5

Subcellular location

Cell surface By similarity. Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side By similarity. Cleavage furrow. Midbody By similarity. Note: Prior to LPA treatment found predominantly at the cell surface and in the presence of LPA co-localizes with LPAR1 and LPAR2 in the endocytic vesicles. During early cytokinesis localizes at the cleavage furrow membrane. Colocalizes with EXOC2 at the early midbody ring and persists there till maturation of the midbody By similarity.

Post-translational modification

Prenylation is essential for membrane localization By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family.
