Critical Activities of Rac1 and Cdc42Hs in Skeletal Myogenesis: Antagonistic Effects of JNK and p38 Pathways

Meriane, Mayya, Roux, Pierre, Primig, Michael, Fort, Philippe, Gauthier-Rouvière, Cécile

The Rho family of GTP-binding proteins plays a critical role in a variety of cellular processes, including cytoskeletal reorganization and activation of kinases such as p38 and C-jun N-terminal...

RhoG GTPase Controls a Pathway That Independently Activates Rac1 and Cdc42Hs

Gauthier-Rouvière, Cécile, Vignal, Emmanuel, Mériane, Mayya, Roux, Pierre, Montcourier, Philippe, Fort, Philippe

RhoG is a member of the Rho family of GTPases that shares 72% and 62% sequence identity with Rac1 and Cdc42Hs, respectively. We have expressed mutant RhoG proteins fused to the green fluorescent...

Raf-MEK-Erk Cascade in Anoikis Is Controlled by Rac1 and Cdc42 via Akt

Zugasti, Olivier, Rul, Wilfrid, Roux, Pierre, Peyssonnaux, Carole, Eychene, Alain, Franke, Thomas F., ...

Signals from the extracellular matrix are essential for the survival of many cell types. Dominant-negative mutants of two members of Rho family GTPases, Rac1 and Cdc42, mimic the loss of anchorage in...
