A RhoA-FRET Biosensor Mouse for Intravital Imaging in Normal Tissue Homeostasis and Disease Contexts.
The small GTPase RhoA is involved in a variety of fundamental processes in normal tissue. Spatiotemporal control of RhoA is thought to govern mechanosensing, growth, and motility of cells, while its deregulation is associated...

Rho GTPases in Skeletal Muscle Development and Homeostasis.
Rho guanosine triphosphate hydrolases (GTPases) are molecular switches that cycle between an inactive guanosine diphosphate (GDP)-bound and an active guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-bound state during signal transduction. As such...

Structural biology of DOCK-family guanine nucleotide exchange factors.
DOCK proteins are a family of multi-domain guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) that activate the RHO GTPases CDC42 and RAC1, thereby regulating several RHO GTPase-dependent cellular processes. DOCK proteins are...

Sticky/Citron kinase maintains proper RhoA localization at the cleavage site during cytokinesis.
In many organisms, the small guanosine triphosphatase RhoA controls assembly and contraction of the actomyosin ring during cytokinesis by activating different effectors. Although the role of some RhoA effectors like formins and...

Plant Vasculature
To introduce pits into a cell wall, plants depolymerize cortical microtubules, which prevents subsequent secondary cell wall thickening. A newly identified protein tethers microtubules to the plasma membrane and contains this...
