Fam65b Phosphorylation Relieves Tonic RhoA Inhibition During T Cell Migration

We previously identified Fam65b as an atypical inhibitor of the small G protein RhoA. Using a conditional model of a Fam65b-deficient mouse, we first show that Fam65b restricts spontaneous RhoA activation in resting T lymphocytes and regulates intranodal T cell migration in vivo. We next aimed at un...

Functionally, we show that the degree of Fam65b phosphorylation controls some cytoskeletal alterations downstream active RhoA such as actin polymerization, as well as T cell migration in vitro. Altogether, our results show that Fam65b expression and phosphorylation can finely tune the amount of active RhoA in order to favor optimal T lymphocyte motility.https://www.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fimmu.2018.02001/fullRho GTPasesT cell migrationchemokine signalingmouse modelphosphoproteins
