The emerging roles of srGAPs in cancer.

Molecular biology reports

Ji V, Kishore C.
PMID: 34825319

GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) were initially considered as the inhibitors of cell signaling pathways because of their nature to activate the intrinsic GTPase activity of the RhoGTPases. But recent studies of dysregulated GAPs in many cancers such as glioblastoma,...

mTORC1 is a protein kinase important for metabolism and is regulated by growth factor and nutrient signaling pathways, mediated by the Rheb and Rag GTPases, respectively. Here we provide the first animal model in which both pathways were upregulated...

High-Throughput Assay for Profiling the Substrate Specificity of Rab GTPase-Activating Proteins.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)

Mishra AK, Lambright DG.

Methods Mol Biol. 2021;2293:27-43. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-1346-7_3.

Measurement of intrinsic as well as GTPase-activating Protein (GAP) catalyzed GTP hydrolysis is central to understanding the molecular mechanism and function of GTPases in diverse cellular processes. For the Rab GTPase family, which comprises at least 60 distinct proteins...

The tumor suppressive roles of ARHGAP25 in lung cancer cells.

OncoTargets and therapy

Xu K, Liu B, Ma Y.

Onco Targets Ther. 2019 Aug 19;12:6699-6710. doi: 10.2147/OTT.S207540. eCollection 2019.

AIM: Several Rho GTPase-activating proteins (Rho GAPs) have been proved to serve as tumor suppressors in diverse human cancers. Among them, ARHGAP25 has also been found to be associated with hematopoietic cells and regulate phagocytosis. Little is known about...

Underappreciated roles for Rho GDP dissociation inhibitors (RhoGDIs) in cell function: Lessons learned from the pancreatic islet β-cell.

Biochemical pharmacology

Biochem Pharmacol. 2021 Dec 28;197:114886. doi: 10.1016/j.bcp.2021.114886. Epub 2021 Dec 28.

Rho subfamily of G proteins (e.g., Rac1) have been implicated in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from the pancreatic β-cell. Interestingly, metabolic stress (e.g., chronic exposure to high glucose) results in sustained activation of Rac1 leading to increased oxidative stress, impaired...

Arf GTPase-activating proteins SMAP1 and AGFG2 regulate the size of Weibel-Palade bodies and exocytosis of von Willebrand factor.

Arf GTPase-Activating proteins (ArfGAPs) mediate the hydrolysis of GTP bound to ADP-ribosylation factors (Arfs), which are critical to form transport intermediates. ArfGAPs have been thought to be negative regulators of Arfs; however, accumulating evidence indicates that ArfGAPs are important...

Ras undergoes interconversion between the active GTP-bound state and the inactive GDP-bound state. This GTPase cycle, which controls the activities of Ras, is accelerated by Ras GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) and guanine nucleotide exchange factors (SOS). Oncogenic Ras mutations could...
