These 3 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. 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. Disease Mutations in RhoA were identified in diffuse gastric cancer. Relevance RhoA is thought to be important in mediating vasoconstriction in the penis. Structural highlights The transition state complex of RhoA and RhoGAP contains GDP, AlF4 and Mg+2 ion. AlF4 and Mg+2 ion binding site.
