Supplementary information

The protein RACGAP1 also known as MGCRACGAP is an important component involved in the regulation of cytokinesis. This protein with an approximate mass of 63 kDa exhibits expression in various tissues including high levels in proliferative cell types such as those in tumors and testis. It interacts with Rho family GTPases playing a role in modulating the cytoskeleton during cell division. RACGAP1 localizes at the midbody of dividing cells marking its critical mechanical function in successful cytokinesis completion.
Biological function summary

RACGAP1 plays an essential role in cell cycle regulation and mitotic progression. As a part of the centralspindlin complex it partners with kinesin-like protein CHICA to ensure the accurate completion of cytokinesis. This interaction fosters the stabilization and accumulation of microtubules at the spindle midzone which is fundamental for the cleavage furrow's ingression. RACGAP1's effective modulation of actin dynamics through its GAP activity serves a pivotal function in cytokinetic abscission.

Pathways

RACGAP1 integrates into multiple signaling networks sharing responsibilities in regulating the dynamics of the mitotic spindle and the actomyosin contractile ring. Significant pathways include the Rho signaling pathway and the cell cycle checkpoint signaling. Within these pathways RACGAP1 works closely with proteins such as Aurora B kinase to orchestrate orderly cell division and chromosome segregation ensuring genomic stability.

The altered function of RACGAP1 links to several instances of tumorigenesis as well as certain developmental disorders. Overexpression and dysregulation have correlations with aggressive cancer phenotypes particularly in cases of prostate cancer. RACGAP1's oncogenic role becomes apparent through its interaction with proteins like p53 affecting tumor suppressor pathways. Addressing RACGAP1 anomalies through therapeutic intervention therefore presents a potential strategic target in treating related pathologies.

Target data

Component of the centralspindlin complex that serves as a microtubule-dependent and Rho-mediated signaling required for the myosin contractile ring formation during the cell cycle cytokinesis. Required for proper attachment of the midbody to the cell membrane during cytokinesis. Sequentially binds to ECT2 and RAB11FIP3 which regulates cleavage furrow ingression and abscission during cytokinesis (PubMed : 18511905). Plays key roles in controlling cell growth and differentiation of hematopoietic cells through mechanisms other than regulating Rac GTPase activity (PubMed : 10979956). Has a critical role in erythropoiesis (PubMed : 34818416). Also involved in the regulation of growth-related processes in adipocytes and myoblasts. May be involved in regulating spermatogenesis and in the RACGAP1 pathway in neuronal proliferation. Shows strong GAP (GTPase activation) activity towards CDC42 and RAC1 and less towards RHOA. Essential for the early stages of embryogenesis. May play a role in regulating cortical activity through RHOA during cytokinesis. May participate in the regulation of sulfate transport in male germ cells.
