Rab9 (red) and Rab7 (green) localize to distinct domains on late endosomes.
The detailed localization of the GFP-Rab9 is also telling. Rab GTPases are thought to contribute delivery address information for many trafficking vesicles, but Barbero et al. note that Rab9 is present on the endosome- derived vesicles from budding through docking. This is consistent with the group's earlier experiments suggesting that Rab9 has a function during budding. Perhaps as part of this budding process Rab9 clusters in particular regions, as the authors note that Rab9 and...
