A Process Model of Rho GTP-binding Proteins in the Context of Phagocytosis
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 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.

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. The Rho family of GTP binding proteins are important upstream mediators of cytoskeletal organization.

Interaction of G protein Gβγ dimers with small GTP-binding proteins of the Rho family
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.

Rho family small GTP-binding proteins in growth cone signalling
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1997Rho family GTP-binding proteins regulate various aspects of the actin cytoskeleton in a wide variety of organisms. Recent evidence suggests that they may also be important components of the signalling pathways that link the reception of extracellular cues to the regulation of the cytoskeleton in neuronal growth cones.

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 ...

An immunologist's look at the Rho and Rab GTP-binding proteins
Immunology Today, 1993The ras superfamily of small GTP-binding proteins contains three major branches: the Ras, Rho and Rab protein subfamilies. Recent advances in the field of ras-related small GTP-binding proteins suggest that it may be worthwhile to look at this superfamily from the standpoint of immunology.

Effect of Rho family GTP-binding proteins on Amoeba proteus
Protoplasma, 2003While there is a number of studies on the effects of Rho GTPases on the actin-based cytoskeleton in higher eukaryotes, studies in protozoans are rather limited. The problem seems to be intriguing since the structure of protozoan cytoskeletons is distinct from most vertebrate cells.
