    Opto-RhoGEFs, an optimized optogenetic toolbox to reversibly control Rho GTPase activity on a global to subcellular scale, enabling precise control over vascular endothelial barrier strength

    Eike K Mahlandt, Sebastián Palacios Martínez ... Joachim Goedhart
    Optogenetic activation of Rho GTPases provides spatiotemporal control over endothelial cell shape and enables control over endothelial barrier function by manipulating the cell-cell overlap with blue light.

    The RhoGAP activity of CYK-4/MgcRacGAP functions non-canonically by promoting RhoA activation during cytokinesis

    Donglei Zhang, Michael Glotzer
    Activation of the key regulator of cytokinesis, RhoA, involves an unexpected contribution by a RhoGAP domain.

    An RNAi screen unravels the complexities of Rho GTPase networks in skin morphogenesis

    Melanie Laurin, Nicholas C Gomez ... Elaine Fuchs
    An unprecedented large-scale screen in mice for morphogenetic regulators of tissue development provides major new insights into the roles of Rho GTPases in diverse array of skin developmental processes.

    A putative structural mechanism underlying the antithetic effect of homologous RND1 and RhoD GTPases in mammalian plexin regulation

    Yanyan Liu, Pu Ke ... Yibing Shan
    Small Rho GTPases confer up- and downregulation in mammalian plexin signaling by differential interactions with cell membrane.

    Rho1 activation recapitulates early gastrulation events in the ventral, but not dorsal, epithelium of Drosophila embryos

    Ashley Rich, Richard G Fehon, Michael Glotzer
    Spatially and temporally patterned activation of the small GTPase Rho1 indicates that ventral-specific factors contribute to cell- and tissue-level behaviors during ventral furrow formation, the first step in Drosophila gastrulation.

    ARHGAP18-ezrin functions as an autoregulatory module for RhoA in the assembly of distinct actin-based structures

    Andrew T Lombardo, Cameron AR Mitchell ... Anthony Bretscher
    ARHGAP18 specializes in controlling cell shape at the topmost layer of the cell membrane by regulating the interaction between the ERM protein family, RhoA signaling, and the actin cytoskeleton.

    Apical targeting of the formin Diaphanous in Drosophila tubular epithelia

    Tal Rousso, Annette M Shewan ... Ben-Zion Shilo
    Synergistic interactions with PI(4,5)P2 and activated Rho1, which are enriched at the apical membrane of tubular organs, facilitate tight apical targeting of the formin Diaphanous.

    A Rho signaling network links microtubules to PKD controlled carrier transport to focal adhesions

    Stephan A Eisler, Filipa Curado ... Angelika Hausser
    The small GTPase Rho connects GPCR signaling with PKD activity at TGN membranes and consequently anterograde trafficking to focal adhesions.

    The adhesion-GPCR BAI1 shapes dendritic arbors via Bcr-mediated RhoA activation causing late growth arrest

    Joseph G Duman, Shalaka Mulherkar ... Kimberley F Tolias
    The adhesion-GPCR BAI1 shapes dendritic arbors in the hippocampus by associating with Bcr late in development and stimulating its RhoA-GEF activity, resulting in dendritic growth arrest.

    Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) function is essential for cell cycle progression, senescence and tumorigenesis

    Sandra Kümper, Faraz K Mardakheh ... Christopher J Marshall
    The Rho kinases ROCK1 and 2 act redundantly in regulating cell proliferation and their depletion causes cellular senescence.
