RHOJ Antibody

1. Short-term treatment of nascent melanoma tumors with PAK inhibitors that block RhoJ signaling halts the growth of BRAF mutant melanoma tumors in vivo and induces apoptosis in melanoma cells in vitro via a BAD-dependent mechanism. As up to 50% of BRAF mutant human melanomas express high levels of RhoJ, these studies nominate the RhoJ-BAD signaling network as a therapeutic vulnerability for fledgling BRAF mutant human tumor PMID: 28753606
2. These results identify amino acids within the N terminus and a loop region distal to the nucleotide binding pocket of TCL capable of allosterically regulating nucleotide exchange and thus influence membrane association of the protein. PMID: 27660391
3. FMNL3 interacts with Cdc42 and RhoJ, two Rho family GTPases known to be required for lumen formation. FMNL3 and RhoJ are concentrated at the early apical surface, or AMIS, and regulate the formation of radiating actin cables from this site. PMID: 26299518
4. RhoJ-knockout mice showed reduced tumour growth and diminished tumour vessel density, identifying a role for RhoJ in mediating tumour angiogenesis. Studies give insight into the molecular function of RhoJ in regulating cell motility. PMID: 24928894
5. These results identify RhoJ blockade as a selective and effective therapeutic strategy for targeting tumor vasculature with minimal side effects. PMID: 24434213
6. These observations identify RHOJ as a melanoma linchpin determinant that regulates both actin cytoskeletal dynamics and chemoresistance by activating PAK1. PMID: 23253891
7. Arhgef15 acts as an endothelial cell-specific GEF to mediate VEGF-induced Cdc42 activation and potentiate RhoJ inactivation, thereby promoting actin polymerization and cell motility. PMID: 23029280
8. we identified RhoJ and its effector PAK1, as key modulators of melanoma cell sensitivity to DNA damage PMID: 22971344
9. Our study supports a novel role for the Rho family member RhoJ in ednothelial cell morphogenesis and in particular in lumen formation PMID: 21628409
10. RhoJ is endothelial-expressed in vivo, activated by vascular endothelial growth factor, localizes to focal adhesions, regulates endothelial cell migration and tube formation, and modulates actomyosin contractility and focal adhesion numbers. PMID: 21148427
11. TCL is essential for clathrin-dependent endocytosed receptors to enter the early/sorting endosomes PMID: 12960428
