Abstract excerpt
The Rho family small GTPases Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 regulate cell shape and motility through the actin cytoskeleton. These proteins cycle between a GTP-bound "on" state and a GDP-bound "off" state and are negatively regulated by GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), which accelerate the small GTPase's intrinsic hydrolysis of bound GTP to GDP. Drosophila RhoGAP68F is similar to the mammalian protein p50RhoGAP/Cdc42GAP,...
