Direct activation of RhoA by reactive oxygen species requires a redox-sensitive motif.

BACKGROUND:Rho family GTPases are critical regulators of the cytoskeleton and affect cell migration, cell-cell adhesion, and cell-matrix adhesion. As with all GTPases, their activity is determined by their guanine nucleotide-bound state. Understanding how Rho proteins are activated and inactivated h...
