Rif GTPase是Rho GTPase家族的新成员;它与家族中的其他成员具有低同源性,并且在进化上与脊椎动物的发展相似。Rif具有保守的Rho GTPase结构域结构,并且在gtp结合的非活性形式和gtp结合的活性形式之间循环。在主动形式下,Rif通过多个下游效应器发出信号。在本文中,我们的目的是总结目前关于Rif效应物的信息,以及Rif如何在许多方面重塑肌动蛋白细胞骨架。
The Rif GTPase is a recent addition to small Rho GTPase family; it shares low homology with other members in the family and evolutionarily parallels with the development of vertebrates. Rif has the conserved Rho GTPase domain structures and cycles between a GDP-bound inactive form and a GTP-bound active form. In its active form, Rif signals through multiple downstream effectors. In the present review, our aim is to summarize the current information about the Rif effectors and how Rif remodels actin cytoskeleton in many aspects.
