Rho (A, B, & C) proteins are members of the Ras superfamily of GTPases. These proteins regulate a variety of cellular functions, including cell cycle progression, cytoskeletal rearrangement, and gene expression. Rho cycles between the active GTP-bound form and an inactive GDP-bound form. Interconversion between these forms is controlled by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). The Rho proteins RhoA, RhoB, and RhoC are highly homologous and contain the consensus amino acid sequences necessary for GDP/GTP-binding and GTPase activity. Post-translational regulation of Rho activity has been shown specifically for RhoA. This Rho protein is phosphorylated in vitro on serine 188 by cAMP- and cGMP-dependent kinases (PKA and PKG). Ser-188 phosphorylation enhances RhoGDI binding and inhibits RhoA-mediated stress fiber formation.
Human recombinant RhoA is a full length protein (28 kDa) with an N-terminal His-tag. This RhoA protein is detected by rabbit polyclonal anti-Rho (Cat.#RP1501).
Western blot analysis of human RhoA recombinant unphosphorylated (lanes 1 & 3) or phosphorylated with PKA (lanes 2, 4, 5 & 6). The blots were probed with anti-Rho (RP1501; lanes 1 & 2) or with anti-RhoA (Ser-188) (RP1361; lanes 3-6). The latter antibody was used in the presence of no peptide (lanes 3 & 4), phospho-RhoA (Ser-188) peptide (lane 5), or an unrelated phosphoserine peptide (lane 6).
