Popis: | RHOA is a member of RHO family small GTPases. Over the past 2 decades, numerous biochemical and cell biological studies on RHOA have demonstrated signalings such as activation of RHO-associated coiled-coil forming kinases through guanine nucleotide exchange and GTP hydrolysis, cellular responses such as actin fiber formation and myocin activation, biological consequences such as cell motility and cytokineses, etc. There have also been a plenty of active discussion on the roles of RHOA in tumorigenesis, primarily based on gain- and loss-of-function experiments. However, cell-type-specific functions of RHOA have only recently been delineated by conditional gene targeting strategies. Furthermore, very little information had been available on human cancer genetics until we and others recently reported frequent somatic RHOA mutations in a distinct subtype of T-cell-type malignant lymphoma called angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), and other T-cell lymphoma with AITL-like features. The RHOA mutations were very specific to these types of lymphoma among hematologic malignancies, and a single hotspot, glycine at the 17th position, was affected by the replacement with valine (G17V). Remarkably, G17V RHOA did not bind GTP, and moreover, it inhibited the GTP binding to wild-type RHOA. How G17V RHOA contributes to T-cell lymphomagenesis needs to be clarified. |
