{{GNF_Protein_box
The Ral isoforms share an 80% overall match in amino acid sequence and 100% match in their effector-binding region. The two isoforms mainly differ in the C-terminal hypervariable region, which contains multiple sites for post-translational modification, leading to diverging subcellular localization and biological function. For example, [[phosphorylation]] of Serine 194 on RalA by the [[kinase]] Aurora A results in the relocation of RalA to the [[inner mitochondrial membrane]], where RalA helps carry out [[mitochondrial fission]]; whereas phosphorylation of Serine 198 on RalB by the kinase [[Protein kinase C|PKC]] results in the relocation of RalB to other internal membranes and activation of its tumorigenic function.<ref name="pmid23830877"/>

== Function ==
{{PBB_Summary
RalB is one of two proteins in the Ral family, which is itself a subfamily within the Ras family of small GTPases.<ref name="pmid24056301"/> As a Ras GTPase, RalB functions as a molecular switch that becomes active when bound to GTP and inactive when bound to GDP. RalB can be activated by RalGEFs and, in turn, activate effectors in signal transduction pathways leading to biological outcomes.<ref name="pmid24056301"/><ref name="pmid25210032"/> For instance, RalB interacts with two components of the [[exocyst]], [[EXOC8|Exo84]] and [[Sec5]], to promote [[autophagosome]] assembly, secretory vesicle trafficking, and tethering. Other downstream biological functions include [[exocytosis]], [[receptor-mediated endocytosis]], [[tight junction]] biogenesis, [[filopodia]] formation, mitochondrial fission, and [[cytokinesis]].<ref name="pmid24056301"/><ref name="pmid23830877"/><ref name="pmid22013078">{{cite journal | vauthors = Hazelett CC, Sheff D, Yeaman C | title = RalA and RalB differentially regulate development of epithelial tight junctions | journal = Molecular Biology of the Cell | volume = 22 | issue = 24 | pages = 4787–800 | date = Dec 2011 | pmid = 22013078 | doi = 10.1091/mbc.E11-07-0657 | pmc=3237622}}</ref>

| summary_text = This gene encodes a GTP-binding protein that belongs to the small GTPase superfamily and Ras family of proteins. GTP-binding proteins mediate the transmembrane signaling initiated by the occupancy of certain cell surface receptors.<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: RALB v-ral simian leukemia viral oncogene homolog B (ras related; GTP binding protein)| url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=5899| accessdate = }}</ref>

==References==
While the above functions appear to be shared between the two Ral isoforms, their differential subcellular localizations result in their differing involvement in certain biological processes. In particular, RalB is more involved in apoptosis and cell motility.<ref name="pmid25210032"/><ref name="pmid23830877"/> Moreover, RalB specifically interacts with Exo84 to assemble the beclin-1–VPS34 autophagy initiation complex, and with Sec5 to activate the innate immune response via the Tank-binding kinase 1 ([[TANK-binding kinase 1|TBK1]]).<ref name="pmid24056301"/>

Ras-related protein Ral-B (RalB) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RALB gene on chromosome 2.[1] This protein is one of two paralogs of the Ral protein, the other being RalA, and part of the Ras GTPase family.[2] RalA functions as a molecular switch to activate a number of biological processes, majorly cell division and transport, via signaling pathways.[2][3][4] Its biological role thus implicates it in many cancers.[4]

Structure

The Ral isoforms share an 80% overall match in amino acid sequence and 100% match in their effector-binding region. The two isoforms mainly differ in the C-terminal hypervariable region, which contains multiple sites for post-translational modification, leading to diverging subcellular localization and biological function. For example, phosphorylation of Serine 194 on RalA by the kinase Aurora A results in the relocation of RalA to the inner mitochondrial membrane, where RalA helps carry out mitochondrial fission; whereas phosphorylation of Serine 198 on RalB by the kinase PKC results in the relocation of RalB to other internal membranes and activation of its tumorigenic function.[4]

Function

RalB is one of two proteins in the Ral family, which is itself a subfamily within the Ras family of small GTPases.[2] As a Ras GTPase, RalB functions as a molecular switch that becomes active when bound to GTP and inactive when bound to GDP. RalB can be activated by RalGEFs and, in turn, activate effectors in signal transduction pathways leading to biological outcomes.[2][3] For instance, RalB interacts with two components of the exocyst, Exo84 and Sec5, to promote autophagosome assembly, secretory vesicle trafficking, and tethering. Other downstream biological functions include exocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis, tight junction biogenesis, filopodia formation, mitochondrial fission, and cytokinesis.[2][4][5]

While the above functions appear to be shared between the two Ral isoforms, their differential subcellular localizations result in their differing involvement in certain biological processes. In particular, RalB is more involved in apoptosis and cell motility.[3][4] Moreover, RalB specifically interacts with Exo84 to assemble the beclin-1–VPS34 autophagy initiation complex, and with Sec5 to activate the innate immune response via the Tank-binding kinase 1 (TBK1).[2]

Clinical significance

Ral proteins have been associated with the progression of several cancers, including bladder cancer and prostate cancer.[4] Though the exact mechanisms remain unclear, studies reveal that RalB promotes tumor invasion and metastasis. As a result, inhibition of RalB inhibits further progression of cancer.[4] In addition, RalB regulates p53 levels in a K-Ras-independent manner during cancer development.[3] RalB also promotes cell survival during infection by double-stranded DNA viruses by activating TBK1 to carry out an immune response.[2][4]

Interactions

RalB has been shown to interact with:
