Vav1 inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption [PDF]
, 2019 Vav1 is a Rho/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor primarily expressed in hematopoietic cells. In this study, we investigated the potential role of Vav1 in osteoclast (OC) differentiation by comparing the ability of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs)

Light‐Based Molecular Tools to Precisely Monitor and Operate β‐Adrenoceptors
Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT β‐Adrenoceptors are important G protein–coupled receptors involved in cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological regulation. To study their function with high precision, light‐based molecular tools have been developed offering precise spatiotemporal control.

Frontiers in Oncology, 2020 Although we currently have a good understanding of the role C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) plays in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), the mechanism of CXCR4-mediated T-ALL migration remains elusive.

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Uptake of Clostridium botulinum C3 Exoenzyme into Intact HT22 and J774A.1 Cells
Toxins, 2015 The Clostridium botulinum C3 exoenzyme selectively ADP-ribosylates low molecular weight GTP-binding proteins RhoA, B and C. This covalent modification inhibits Rho signaling activity, resulting in distinct actin cytoskeleton changes.

Rho GTPases and signaling networks [PDF]
, 1997 The Rho GTPases form a subgroup of the Ras superfamily of 20- to 30-kD GTP-binding proteins that have been shown to regulate a wide spectrum of cellular functions. These proteins are ubiquitously expressed across the species, from yeast to man.

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

The Human SLC25A33 and SLC25A36 Genes of Solute Carrier Family 25 Encode Two Mitochondrial Pyrimidine Nucleotide Transporters [PDF]
, 2014 The human genome encodes 53 members of the solute carrier family 25 (SLC25), also called the mitochondrial carrier family, many of which have been shown to transport inorganic anions, amino acids, carboxylates, nucleotides, and coenzymes across the inner

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.The INF2 WH2/DAD domain, composed of hydrophobic and basic regions, forms a single α‐helix in solution. The hydrophobic segment is essential for INF2 function, as its deletion disrupts actin dynamics and causes nuclear abnormalities, like those seen in pathogenic INF2 DID variants. In contrast, natural INF2 WH2/DAD variants found in patients with renal

New Angle of View on the Role of Rho/Rho Kinase Pathway in Human Diseases
Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2014 Rho-kinase is an effector molecule of RhoA, a monomeric GTP-binding protein, and causes Ca2+ sensitization through inactivation of myosin phosphatase.
