The Role of the CLIC/GEEC Endocytic Pathway for Mechanophysical Transfection of DNA. [PDF]
J Gene MedThe clathrin‐independent carriers/GPI‐enriched endocytic compartments (CLIC/GEEC or CG) pathway is a high‐capacity, clathrin‐, and dynamin‐independent route for nutrient and membrane‐anchored cargo uptake of DNA. This overview highlights its molecular mechanisms, regulation, cellular roles, and relevance to mechanophysical DNA transfection.Weaver S, Lallow EO, Kyker-Snowman K, Jhumur NC, Gulley M, Roberts CC, Shreiber DI, Lin H, Maslow JN. +8 moreeuropepmc +2 more sourcesCase Report: Association of Ocular Colobomas With a Novel Missense Variant in CDC42, a Member of the Rho Family of Small GTPases.

Clin GenetWe report a 2‐year‐old male with clinical features of Takenouchi‐Kosaki syndrome, bilateral colobomas, and a de novo, likely pathogenic missense variant in CDC42. Supportive evidence includes a Cdc42 conditional knock‐out mouse model with colobomas.Brightman D, Shinwari N, Porollo A, Dosunmu EO, Ullah E, Guan B, Hufnagel RB, Brooks BP, Blain D, Fuhrmann S, Simpson B, Slavotinek AM. +11 moreeuropepmc +2 more sourcesGuanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors and Small GTPases: Their Regulation and Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets.

MedComm (2020)This review comprehensively examines the regulatory mechanisms and physiological roles of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and their small GTPase substrates, highlighting their significance in cellular processes and disease pathogenesis.Lin Z, Ni C, Jiang H, Yang H, Deng L, Liu P, Li X, Yu Y, Li W, Wang R, Liao B, Kang J, Liu J, Wu X, Ren J, Zhao Y. +15 moreeuropepmc +2 more sourcesNovel Evolutionarily Conserved Oncogene COA4 is Driven by KRAS Mutant and Promotes Cancer Metastasis Through Dual Mitochondrial Metabolism-Dependent and -Independent Mechanisms. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)In KRAS‐mutant tumors, KRAS transcriptionally upregulates COA4 via the PI3K/AKT/E2F1 axis, promoting metastasis. Mechanistically, COA4 enhances tumor cell migration through dual pathways: within mitochondria, it boosts oxidative phosphorylation; in the cytoplasm, it binds and activates CDC42 to stimulate pseudopodia formation.Ji X, Zhang W, Xue F, Zeng J, Zhao Q, Sun X, Sun J, Zhou H, Xu Q, Ma G, Sun S, Wang Y, Mu Q, Liu Y, Wan Q. +14 moreeuropepmc +2 more sourcesCoxiella burnetii Phagocytosis Is Regulated by GTPases of the Rho Family and the RhoA Effectors mDia1 and ROCK [PDF]
, 2015 The GTPases belonging to the Rho family control the actin cytoskeleton rearrangements needed for particle internalization during phagocytosis. ROCK and mDia1 are downstream effectors of RhoA, a GTPase involved in that process.A Alonso, A Schonichen, A Subtil, A Tierrez, A Yoneda, AB Hall, AB Jaffe, AD Hoppe, AL Bishop, AP Wheeler, AR Frampton Jr., AS Alberts, B Qualmann, BJ Wallar, C Capo, C Cougoule, C Yang, CA Burnham, CM Haglund, CW Gourlay, D Howe, D Michaelson, D Michaelson, D Truong, Daniel E.
