Mutant mitochondrial elongation factor G1 and combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency [PDF]

, 2004
Although most components of the mitochondrial translation apparatus are encoded by nuclear genes, all known molecular defects associated with impaired mitochondrial translation are due to mutations in mitochondrial DNA.

Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies of Chronic Renal Injury: Renoprotective Effect of Rho-Kinase Inhibitor in Hypertensive Glomerulosclerosis

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2006
.: Among the GTP-binding proteins, Rho is known to function as a molecular switch in various cellular functions. Among the Rho effectors, the cellular function and signal transduction of Rho-kinase have been extensively studied.

The role of statins in lung cancer

Archives of Medical Science, 2021
Lung cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related mortality in the 21st century. Statins as inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase not only reduce the cholesterol levels in the blood and decrease the risk of ...

Atypical Rho GTPases of the RhoBTB Subfamily: Roles in vesicle trafficking and tumorigenesis [PDF]

, 2016
RhoBTB proteins constitute a subfamily of atypical Rho GTPases represented in mammals by RhoBTB1, RhoBTB2, and RhoBTB3. Their characteristic feature is a carboxyl terminal extension that harbors two BTB domains capable of assembling cullin 3-dependent ...

Involvement of the GTP binding protein Rho in constitutive endocytosis in Xenopus laevis oocytes. [PDF]

The Journal of cell biology, 1995
To study an endocytotic role of the GTP-binding protein RhoA in Xenopus oocytes, we have monitored changes in the surface expression of sodium pumps, the surface area of the oocyte and the uptake of the fluid-phase marker inulin. Xenopus oocytes possess intracellular sodium pumps that are continuously exchanged for surface sodium pumps by constitutive ...

Gem-induced cytoskeleton remodeling increases cellular migration of HTLV-1-infected cells, formation of infected-to-target T-cell conjugates and viral transmission [PDF]

, 2013
Efficient HTLV-1 viral transmission occurs through cell-to-cell contacts. The Tax viral transcriptional activator protein facilitates this process. Using a comparative transcriptomic analysis, we recently identified a series of genes up-regulated in HTLV-

Cdc42/Rac Interactive Binding Containing Effector Proteins in Unicellular Protozoans With Reference to Human Host: Locks of the Rho Signaling

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Small GTPases are the key to actin cytoskeleton signaling, which opens the lock of effector proteins to forward the signal downstream in several cellular pathways. Actin cytoskeleton assembly is associated with cell polarity, adhesion, movement and other

Novel role of Ras-GTPase Activating Protein SH3 Domain-Binding Protein G3BP in adhesion and migration of 32D myeloid progenitor cells [PDF]

, 2012
Rho GTPases are involved in homing and mobilization of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells due to their impact on cytoskeleton remodeling. We have previously shown that inhibition of Rho, Rac and Cdc42 clearly impairs adhesion of normal and leukemic ...

Direct Involvement of the Small GTP-binding Protein Rho in lbc Oncogene Function [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
The lbc oncogene is tumorigenic in nude mice, transforms NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, and encodes a Dbl homology domain found in several transforming gene products including the dbl oncogene product. While both lbc- and dbl-transformed NIH 3T3 foci exhibited a comparable gross appearance, lbc-transformed cell morphology was clearly distinct from that of dbl ...

Bimodal expression of RHOH during myelomonocytic differentiation: Implications for the expansion of AML differentiation therapy

eJHaem, 2021
RhoH is an unusual member of the Rho family of small GTP‐binding proteins in that it lacks GTPase activity. Since the RhoH protein is constantly bound by GTP, it is constitutively active and controlled predominantly by changes in quantitative expression.
