Abstract excerpt
ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) is a small-GTPase that regulates the membrane trafficking between the plasma membrane and endosome. It is also involved in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. GTPase-activating protein (GAP) is a critical regulator of Arf function as it inactivates Arf. Here, we identified a novel species of GAP denoted as SMAP1 that preferentially acts on Arf6. Although overexpression...
