4 unusual facts about Rho GTPase


Cytotoxic necrotising factor family

Bordetella dermonecrotic toxin (DNT) stimulates the assembly of actin stress fibres and focal adhesions by deamidating or polyaminating Gln63 of the small GTPase Rho.

Reticulon 4 receptor

Rho-GTP, a Rho GTPase, then activates ROCK which phosphorylates other proteins which inhibit neurite outgrowth.

Rho GTPase

RHOA, the most-studied member of the Rho subclass of the Rho family of GTPases

YopE protein domain

This particular protein domain can be referred to as a Rho GTPase-activating protein (GAP).
