The small guanosine triphosphatase Rho is implicated in myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation,
which results in contraction of smooth muscle and interaction of actin and myosin in …

The small GTPase Rho is implicated in physiological functions associated with actin-myosin
filaments such as cytokinesis, cell motility, and smooth muscle contraction. We have recently …

The small GTP binding protein Rho is implicated in cytoskeletal responses to extracellular
signals such as lysophosphatidic acid to form stress fibers and focal contacts. Here we have …

Caspase 3 is an essential death factor for the Fas-mediated cell death, and its inactivation
in cells is initiated by an interaction with p21 on mitochondria or with IAP family member ILP. …

Plant steroid hormones, brassinosteroids (BRs), are perceived by a cell surface receptor
kinase, BRI1, but how BR binding leads to regulation of gene expression in the nucleus is …

We analyzed global gene expression in Arabidopsis in response to various hormones and in
related experiments as part of the AtGenExpress project. The experimental agents included …

Cardiac involvement is an important prognostic factor in sarcoidosis, but reliable indicators
of mortality risk in cardiac sarcoidosis are unstudied in a large number of patients. To …

Small GTPase Rho plays pivotal roles in the Ca 2+ sensitization of smooth muscle. However,
the GTP-bound active form of Rho failed to exert Ca 2+ -sensitizing effects in extensively …

Survivin is a recently described inhibitor of apoptosis. Because suppression of apoptosis is
important for carcinogenesis and tumor growth, we investigated the expression and function …

It is clear from several studies that myosin phosphatase (MP) can be inhibited via a pathway
that involves RhoA. However, the mechanism of inhibition is not established. These studies …
