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 ...

Lipid raft microdomain compartmentalization of TC10 is required for insulin signaling and GLUT4 translocation. [PDF]
, 2001 Recent studies indicate that insulin stimulation of glucose transporter (GLUT)4 translocation requires at least two distinct insulin receptor-mediated signals: one leading to the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI-3) kinase and the other to the ...

Association of the Rho family small GTP-binding proteins with Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor (Rho GDI) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Oncogene, 1997 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 ...

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.

Interaction of mastoparan with the low molecular mass GTP‐binding proteins rho/rac [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1991 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.
