Rho GTPases and their effector proteins [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 2000 Rho GTPases are molecular switches that regulate many essential cellular processes, including actin dynamics, gene transcription, cell-cycle progression and cell adhesion. About 30 potential effector proteins have been identified that interact with members of the Rho family, but it is still unclear which of these are responsible for the diverse ...

The role of Rho GTPases in facial morphogenesis
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.The role of small GTPases, RHOA, RAC1, and CDC42 and pathway mediators is reviewed in the context of embryonic facial development. Lip fusion requires cytoskeletal remodeling during morphogenesis of the facial processes and during lip fusion. Fnm, frontonasal mass; lnp, lateral nasal process; mnp, medial nasal process; mxp, maxillary process; np, nasal

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population of cells that give rise to a wide range of structures, including craniofacial cartilage and bone, peripheral neurons and glia, as well as components of the cardiac outflow tract, among others.

Rho Family of Ras-Like GTPases in Early-Branching Animals
Cells, 2020 Non-bilaterian animals consist of four phyla; Porifera, Cnidaria, Ctenophora, and Placozoa. These early-diverging animals are crucial for understanding the evolution of the entire animal lineage.

Rho GTPases in platelet function [PDF]
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2013 The Rho family of GTP binding proteins, also commonly referred to as the Rho GTPases, are master regulators of the platelet cytoskeleton and platelet function. These low-molecular-weight or 'small' GTPases act as signaling switches in the spatial and temporal transduction, and amplification of signals from platelet cell surface receptors to the ...

Altered gene expression in the liver and small intestine of horses with equine neuroaxonal dystrophy
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Equine neuroaxonal dystrophy/degenerative myeloencephalopathy (eNAD/EDM) is the second most common diagnosis of spinal ataxia in horses in the United States. The disease develops due to a combination of vitamin E deficiency and an unknown genetic risk factor(s), and there currently is no effective treatment.

Rho GTPases and signaling networks [PDF]
Genes & Development, 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 mammalian Rho-like GTPases comprise at least 10 distinct proteins: RhoA, B, C, D, and E; Rac1 and 2; RacE;

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) exhibits marked male predominance with male‐to‐female ratios reaching 8.5:1, yet the molecular basis underlying this sex disparity remains poorly characterized. We analyzed 92 EAC specimens using mass spectrometry–based proteomics, comprising 47 female and 45 male tumors from treatment‐naïve patients ...

iMetaMed, EarlyView.This review systematically summarizes the central role of cysteine peptidases in modulating antigen‐presenting cell (APC) function and antitumor immune responses, highlighting their critical significance in overcoming tumor immune evasion. Current research has established that cysteine peptidase subtypes, including cathepsins B, S, L, and X, exert ...
