Abstract

The Rho GTPases are influential regulators of signalling pathways that control vital cellular processes such as cytoskeletal dynamics, gene transcription, cell cycle progression and cell transformation. A vast majority of the studies involving Rho GTPases have been focused to the famous triad, Cdc42, Rac1 and RhoA, but this protein family actually harbours 20 members. Recently, the less known Rho GTPases have received increased attention. Many of the less studied Rho GTPases have structural, as well as, functional features which makes it pertinent to classify them as atypical Rho GTPases. This review article will focus on the critical aspects of the atypical Rho GTPases, RhoH, Wrch-1, Chp and RhoBTB. These proteins are involved in a broad spectre of biological processes, such as cytoskeletal dynamics, T-cell signalling and protein ubiquitinylation. We will also discuss the roles of atypical Rho GTPases as oncogenes or tumour suppressors, as well as their potential involvement in human diseases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
