'''Rho GTPase''' of higher vertebrates include '''RhoA, RhoB''' and ''' | '''Rho GTPase''' or '''Rho-related GTP-binding protein''' of higher vertebrates include '''RhoA, RhoB''', '''RhoC''', '''RhoD''' and '''RhoE'''. These proteins share 85% sequence identity. '''RhoA''' is the more extensively studied among these three. RhoA regulates a signal transduction phosphorylation pathway linking plasma membrane receptors to the assembly of focal adhesions and actin stress fibers. Rho GTPase operates as a switch cycling between the active GTP-bound form and the inactive GDP-bound one. A number of proteins have been identified as targets of RhoA<ref>PMID:12642488</ref>. | ||
*'''RhoB''' has a role in actin organisation, membrane trafficking, cell proliferation, DNA repair and apoptosis<ref>PMID:27875099</ref>. | |||
*'''RhoD''' participates in regulating cell-cycle progression and centrosome duplication<ref>PMID:22665057</ref>. | |||
*'''RhoE''' induces loss of stress fibres and inhibits cell cycle progression<ref>PMID:16042565</ref>. | |||
*'''RhoG''' regulates actin-cytoskeleton dynamics, survival and proliferation in immune cells<ref>PMID:37378671</ref>. | |||
* '''Mitochondrial Rho GTPase''' ('''Miro''') have tandem GTP-binding domains separated by a linker region containing calcium-binding EF hand motifs indicating a role in mitochondrial homeostasis and apoptosis<ref>PMID:12482879</ref>. | |||
