.: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in normal and diseased cell functions. The small-GTPase RhoA is one of the key proteins of bronchial smooth muscle (BSM) contraction, and an upregulation of RhoA has been demonstrated in BSMs of experimental ...

Regulation of ROCKI by tyrosine phosphorylation
RhoA-regulated cell contractility plays important roles in variety of cellularrocesses. Rho-associated coiled–coil kinase (ROCK) is one of the downstreamffectors of RhoA signaling and generates cell contraction force by promoting myosinight chain (MLC ...

Serine Phosphorylation Negatively Regulates RhoA in Vivo
Previous work indicates that RhoA phosphorylation on Ser188 by cAMP or cGMP-dependent kinases inhibits its activity. However, these studies lacked the possibility to directly study phosphorylated RhoA activity in vivo. Therefore, we created RhoA proteins

RhoA is dispensable for axon guidance of sensory neurons in the mouse dorsal root ganglia
RhoA, a member of Rho family small GTPases, has been shown to play important roles in axon guidance. However, it remains unknown whether RhoA is actually required for any axon guidance events in vivo in the mammalian nervous system.

Functional validation of RHOA.
(A) HMGCR and RHOA levels were quantified in 480 CAP LCLs after 24 hour incubation with 2 µM activated simvastatin or sham buffer. HepG2 (n = 12) and Huh7 cells (n = 6) cells were reverse transfected with Silencer Select siRNAs specific for RHOA or a ...

Dual spatio-temporal regulation of axon growth and microtubule dynamics by RhoA signaling pathways.
RhoA plays a crucial role in neuronal polarization, where its action restraining axon outgrowth has been thoroughly studied. We now report that RhoA has not only inhibitory but also a stimulatory effect on axon development depending on when and where ...

Modulation of cell-matrix adhesions to affect mechanotransduction [PDF]
In cultured fibroblasts three types of cell-matrix adhesion with specific cellular localization and protein composition can be distinguished: focal complexes, focal adhesions and fibrillar adhesions.
