A Complex between PH Domain of p114RhoGEF and Activated RhoA Bound to a GTP Analog
Structural highlights
Function[RHOA_HUMAN] Regulates a signal transduction pathway linking plasma membrane receptors to the assembly of focal adhesions and actin stress fibers. Involved in a microtubule-dependent signal that is required for the myosin contractile ring formation during cell cycle cytokinesis. Plays an essential role in cleavage furrow formation. Required for the apical junction formation of keratinocyte cell-cell adhesion. Serves as a target for the yopT cysteine peptidase from Yersinia pestis, vector of the plague, and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, which causes gastrointestinal disorders. Stimulates PKN2 kinase activity. May be an activator of PLCE1. Activated by ARHGEF2, which promotes the exchange of GDP for GTP. Essential for the SPATA13-mediated regulation of cell migration and adhesion assembly and disassembly. 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.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [ARHGI_MOUSE] Acts as guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RhoA GTPases. May play a role in actin cytoskeleton reorganization in different tissues since its activation induces formation of actin stress fibers. Also act as a GEF for RAC1, inducing production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Does not act as a GEF for CDC42. The G protein beta-gamma (Gbetagamma) subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins act as activators, explaining the integrated effects of LPA and other G-protein coupled receptor agonists on actin stress fiber formation, cell shape change and ROS production. Required for EPB41L4B-mediated regulation of the circumferential actomyosin belt in epithelial cells.[UniProtKB:Q6ZSZ5] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe Pleckstrin homology (PH) domains from the Lbc family of Rho Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors (Lbc RhoGEFs) interact with activated Rho family GTPases. All 7 Lbc RhoGEFs associate directly with activated Rho GTPases via their PH domains. However, the binding affinities between the PH domains and the GTPases vary greatly. Here we present two crystal structures at resolutions of 1.4A and 2.0A of RhoA complexed with the PH domain from p114RhoGEF (PDB access code 6BCB) and AKAP-LbcRhoGEF (PDB access code 6BCA), respectively. These high resolution structures, together with the earlier structures of PDZRhoGEF-PH.RhoA and p190RhoGEF-PH.RhoA complexes, identify a highly conserved interface between the PH domains from Lbc-RhoGEFs and activated Rho GTPases. This manuscript is related to the manuscript titled "Direct Regulation of p190RhoGEF by Activated Rho and Rac GTPases" published in the Journal of Structural Biology.
