General annotation (Comments)

Function

Regulates a signal transduction pathway linking plasma membrane receptors to the assembly of focal adhesions and actin stress fibers. Serves as a target for the yopT cysteine peptidase from Yersinia pestis, vector of the plague, and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, which causes gastrointestinal disorders. May be an activator of PLCE1. Activated by ARHGEF2, which promotes the exchange of GDP for GTP.

Cofactor

Magnesium.

Subunit structure

Interacts with RGNEF By similarity. Binds PRKCL1, ROCK1 and ROCK2. Interacts with ARHGEF2, ARHGEF3, NET1 and RTKN. Interacts with PLCE1 and AKAP13.

Subcellular location

Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasmcytoskeleton.

Domain

The basic-rich region is essential for yopT recognition and cleavage.

Post-translational modification

Substrate for botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase.

Cleaved by yopT protease when the cell is infected by some Yersinia pathogens. This removes the lipid attachment, and leads to its displacement from plasma membrane and to subsequent cytoskeleton cleavage.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rho family.
