== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RHOB_HUMAN RHOB_HUMAN] Mediates apoptosis in neoplastically transformed cells after DNA damage. Not essential for development but affects cell adhesion and growth factor signaling in transformed cells. Plays a negative role in tumorigenesis as deletion causes tumor formation. Involved in intracellular protein trafficking of a number of proteins. Targets PKN1 to endosomes and is involved in trafficking of the EGF receptor from late endosomes to lysosomes. Also required for stability and nuclear trafficking of AKT1/AKT which promotes endothelial cell survival during vascular development. Serves as a microtubule-dependent signal that is required for the myosin contractile ring formation during cell cycle cytokinesis. Required for genotoxic stress-induced cell death in breast cancer cells.<ref>PMID:9478917</ref> <ref>PMID:10508588</ref> <ref>PMID:15226397</ref> <ref>PMID:16236794</ref> <ref>PMID:21373644</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The selective downregulation of activated intracellular proteins is a key challenge in cell biology. RHO small GTPases switch between a guanosine diphosphate (GDP)-bound and a guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-bound state that drives downstream signaling. At present, no tool is available to study endogenous RHO-GTPinduced conformational changes in live cells. Here, we established a cell-based screen to selectively degrade RHOB-GTP using F-box-intracellular single-domain antibody fusion. We identified one intracellular antibody (intrabody) that shows selective targeting of endogenous RHOB-GTP mediated by interactions between the CDR3 loop of the domain antibody and the GTP-binding pocket of RHOB. Our results suggest that, while RHOB is highly regulated at the expression level, only the GTP-bound pool, but not its global expression, mediates RHOB functions in genomic instability and in cell invasion. The F-box/intrabody-targeted protein degradation represents a unique approach to knock down the active form of small GTPases or other proteins with multiple cellular activities.
