A Rho-binding domain (RBD) is located in close proximity just in front of the PH domain. The kinase activity is inhibited by the intramolecular binding between the C-terminal cluster of RBD domain and the PH domain to the N-terminal kinase domain of ROCK. Thus, the kinase activity is off when ROCK is intramolecularly folded.
The Rho family of GTPases is a family of small (~21 kDa) signaling G proteins, and is a subfamily of the Ras superfamily.The members of the Rho GTPase family have been shown to regulate many aspects of intracellular actin dynamics, and are found in all eukaryotic kingdoms, including yeasts and some plants.
RhoA and Rho kinase mechanisms have been linked to diabetes due to the up-regulated expression of targets within type 1 and 2 diabetic animals. Inhibition of this pathway prevented and ameliorated pathologic changes in diabetic complications, indicating that RhoA pathway is a promising target for therapeutic development in diabetes treatment [68]
The ROCK1 structure is a serine/threonine kinase with molecular weight of 158 kDa. [7] It is a homodimer composed of a catalytic kinase domain (residues76-338) [11] located at the amino or N-terminus of the protein, a coiled-coil region (residues 425-1100) [11] containing the Rho-binding domain, and a pleckstrin-homology domain (residues 1118-1317) [11] with a cysteine-rich domain.
Intrinsic, or rho-independent termination, is a process to signal the end of transcription and release the newly constructed RNA molecule. In bacteria such as E. coli , transcription is terminated either by a rho-dependent process or rho-independent process.
RhoC expression has been associated with several signaling pathways and effectors. Here is a list of the ones found so far: IQGAP1 (IQ-domain GTP-ase Activating Protein): an effector of RhoC to enhance expression of cyclin E and cyclin D1. This resulted in cells being promoted to enter S phase more rapidly [16] ROCK-1 [12] [17]
Rac1 is a small (~21 kDa) signalling G protein (more specifically a GTPase), and is a member of the Rac subfamily of the family Rho family of GTPases.Members of this superfamily appear to regulate a diverse array of cellular events, including the control of GLUT4 [8] [9] translocation to glucose uptake, cell growth, cytoskeletal reorganization, antimicrobial cytotoxicity, [10] and the ...
