| Research Abstract |
Rho GTPases have been widely studied because they are critical regulators of cellularsignaling mediated by G-protein-coupled receptors, tyrosine kinase receptors and integrins. RhoH, a member of the Rho family, is specifically expressed in the hematopoietic cells, including bone marrow progenitor, differentiated myeloid andlymphoid cells. RhoH antagonizes Rac, however, the molecules that inactivate Racdownstream of RhoH have not been identified. Here we perform GTP-RhoH affinity column chromatography. Using triple quadrupole liquid chromatography tandemmass spectrometer, 83 different proteins associated with active RhoH were identified. They include Rho GTPase activating proteins(RhoGAP), serine/threonine kinases, phosphatidylinositol kinases, and others. Among them, focused on T-cell activationRhoGTPaseactivatingprotein(TAGAP), whichisspecweifically expressed inthe hematopoietic cells. TAGAP binds to RhoH through its GAP domain. Expression of both full length and GAP domain of TAGAP effectively deactivates Rac, whereas GAP domain deleted TAGAP did not. These results suggest that RhoH negatively regulates Rac through TAGAP.
