Supplementary information

Rho is a small GTPase known for its role in regulating the cytoskeleton. Alternate names include RhoA RhoB and RhoC. Rho proteins have a molecular mass of about 21 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues with particularly high levels in muscle the brain and fibroblasts. Rho belongs to the Ras homologous (Rho) family of GTPases and acts as a molecular switch that toggles between an active GTP-bound state and an inactive GDP-bound state.
Biological function summary

By controlling the organization of the cytoskeleton Rho plays a vital role in cell shape motility and division. It is part of the Rho family GTPase complex which includes other members like Rac and Cdc42. These proteins coordinate actin filament formation affecting cellular movements such as migration and adhesion. Rho also influences the formation of stress fibers and focal adhesions linking it to mechanical stress response and cell polarity.

Pathways

Rho orchestrates cell activities through pathways like the Rho/Rho kinase (ROCK) and the phosphatidylinositol-45-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways. In the Rho/ROCK pathway Rho activates ROCK leading to actomyosin contractility and cell movement. Rho also interacts with proteins like Rac and Cdc42 in the PI3K pathway coordinating diverse cellular responses. This involvement is important for processes such as cell cycle progression and apoptosis.

Improper Rho functioning is linked to conditions like cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Rho proteins contribute to cancer progression through their role in regulating cell motility and invasion with an overexpression often seen in tumors. Additionally in cardiovascular diseases Rho affects vascular smooth muscle function influencing blood pressure regulation. In these contexts Rho interacts with proteins such as ROCK and Rac which are also implicated in pathological states. Researchers use anti-Rho and anti-Rho antibodies to study these interactions and understand Rho-related pathologies better.

Target data

Small GTPase which cycles between an active GTP-bound and an inactive GDP-bound state. Mainly associated with cytoskeleton organization, in active state binds to a variety of effector proteins to regulate cellular responses such as cytoskeletal dynamics, cell migration and cell cycle (PubMed : 23871831). Regulates a signal transduction pathway linking plasma membrane receptors to the assembly of focal adhesions and actin stress fibers (PubMed : 31570889, PubMed : 8910519, PubMed : 9121475). Involved in a microtubule-dependent signal that is required for the myosin contractile ring formation during cell cycle cytokinesis (PubMed : 12900402, PubMed : 16236794). Plays an essential role in cleavage furrow formation. Required for the apical junction formation of keratinocyte cell-cell adhesion (PubMed : 20974804, PubMed : 23940119). Essential for the SPATA13-mediated regulation of cell migration and adhesion assembly and disassembly (PubMed : 19934221). The MEMO1-RHOA-DIAPH1 signaling pathway plays an important role in ERBB2-dependent stabilization of microtubules at the cell cortex. It controls the localization of APC and CLASP2 to the cell membrane, via the regulation of GSK3B activity. In turn, membrane-bound APC allows the localization of the MACF1 to the cell membrane, which is required for microtubule capture and stabilization (PubMed : 20937854). Regulates KCNA2 potassium channel activity by reducing its location at the cell surface in response to CHRM1 activation; promotes KCNA2 endocytosis (PubMed : 19403695, PubMed : 9635436). Acts as an allosteric activator of guanine nucleotide exchange factor ECT2 by binding in its activated GTP-bound form to the PH domain of ECT2 which stimulates the release of PH inhibition and promotes the binding of substrate RHOA to the ECT2 catalytic center (PubMed : 31888991). May be an activator of PLCE1 (PubMed : 16103226). In neurons, involved in the inhibition of the initial spine growth. Upon activation by CaMKII, modulates dendritic spine structural plasticity by relaying CaMKII transient activation to synapse-specific, long-term signaling (By similarity). Acts as a regulator of platelet alpha-granule release during activation and aggregation of platelets (By similarity). When activated by DAAM1 may signal centrosome maturation and chromosomal segregation during cell division. May also be involved in contractile ring formation during cytokinesis.. (Microbial infection) Serves as a target for the yopT cysteine peptidase from Yersinia pestis, vector of the plague.
