MAP1B Regulates Axonal Development by Modulating Rho-GTPase Rac1 Activity
Cultured neurons obtained from MAP1B-deficient mice have a delay in axon outgrowth and a reduced rate of axonal elongation compared with neurons from wild-type mice. Here we show that MAP1B deficiency results in a significant decrease in Rac1 and cdc42 activity and a significant increase in Rho activity. We found that MAP1B interacted with Tiam1, a guanosine nucleotide exchange factor for Rac1....
متن کاملThe small Rho GTPase Rac1 controls normal human dermal fibroblasts proliferation with phosphorylation of the oncoprotein c-myc.
Proliferation of dermal fibroblasts is crucial for the maintenance of skin. The small Rho GTPase, Rac1, has been identified as a key transducer of proliferative signals in various cell types, but in normal human dermal fibroblasts its significance to cell growth control has not been studied. In this study, we applied the method of RNA interference to suppress endogenous Rac1 expression and exam...
متن کاملThe rho GTPase Rac1 is required for proliferation and survival of progenitors in the developing forebrain.
Progenitor cells in the ventricular zone (VZ) and subventricular zone (SVZ) of the developing forebrain give rise to neurons and glial cells, and are characterized by distinct morphologies and proliferative behaviors. The mechanisms that distinguish VZ and SVZ progenitors are not well understood, although the homeodomain transcription factor Cux2 and Cyclin D2, a core component of the cell cycl...
متن کاملThe Rho-Family GTPase Rac1 Regulates Integrin Localization in Drosophila Immunosurveillance Cells
BACKGROUND When the parasitoid wasp Leptopilina boulardi lays an egg in a Drosophila larva, phagocytic cells called plasmatocytes and specialized cells known as lamellocytes encapsulate the egg. The Drosophila β-integrin Myospheroid (Mys) is necessary for lamellocytes to adhere to the cellular capsule surrounding L. boulardi eggs. Integrins are heterodimeric adhesion receptors consisting of α a...
متن کاملRac1 GTPase in pancreatic cancer
cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the Western world. It is a disease of insidious progression and high lethality, with a 5 year survival rate of only 6%. In spite of significant advances in pancreatic cancer research, current therapies are ineffective and fail to significantly extend lifespan. Thus, there is an urgent need for novel and improved therapies for this disease. A...
