The GTP binding proteins Gem and Rad are negative regulators of the Rho–Rho kinase pathway [PDF]
The cytoskeletal changes that alter cellular morphogenesis and motility depend upon a complex interplay among molecules that regulate actin, myosin, and other cytoskeletal components.

Interaction of mastoparan with the low molecular mass GTP-binding proteins rho/rac [PDF]
Mastoparan, which has been shown to active G proteins [1], inhibits the ADP‐ribosylation of 20 kDa human platelet membrane proteins catalyzed by Clostridium botulinum exoenzyme C3 half‐maximally and maximally (90%) at 20 and 100 μM concentrations, respectively. Inhibition of ADP‐ribosylation was enhanced by GTP‐γS.

A Process Model of Rho GTP-binding Proteins in the Context of Phagocytosis [PDF]
AbstractAt the early stages of the phagocytic signalling, Rho GTP-binding proteins play a key role. With the stimulus from the cell membrane and with the help from the regulators (GEF, GAP, Effector, GDI), these proteins serve as switches that interact with their environment in a complex manner.

Interaction of G protein Gβγ dimers with small GTP-binding proteins of the Rho family [PDF]
Gβγ dimers of heterotrimeric G proteins have been shown to be important for the translocation of cytosolic proteins to membranes. The involvement of Gβγ in those signaling processes mediated by small GTP‐binding proteins of the Rho family was studied using purified proteins.

Association of the Rho family small GTP-binding proteins with Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor (Rho GDI) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
The small GTP-binding proteins of the Rho family, consisting of the Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 subfamilies, are implicated in various cell functions, such as cell shape change, cell motility and cytokinesis, through reorganization of actin cytoskeleton. Rho GDI is a general regulator which forms a complex with the GDP-bound inactive form of the Rho family ...

GTP‐binding proteins of the Rho/Rac family: regulation, effectors and functions in vivo [PDF]
AbstractRho/Rac proteins constitute a subgroup of the Ras superfamily of GTP hydrolases. Although originally implicated in the control of cytoskeletal events, it is currently known that these GTPases coordinate diverse cellular functions, including cell polarity, vesicular trafficking, the cell cycle and transcriptomal dynamics. In this review, we will

Rho/ROCK Signaling Pathway in Kidney Diseases: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives [PDF]
Rho GTPases are a group of guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins with a relative molecular weight of about 20–30 kD, and 22 different Rho GTPases have been identified in mammalian cells, among which RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 are the most well-studied.

Abr and Bcr are multifunctional regulators of the Rho GTP-binding protein family. [PDF]
Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemias result from the fusion of the BCR and ABL genes, which generates a functional chimeric molecule. The Abr protein is very similar to Bcr but lacks a structural domain which may influence its biological regulatory capabilities. Both Abr and Bcr have a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) domain similar to those found
