Abstract

Background: Activated RhoA binds to the PH domain of its own GEF, PDZRhoGEF. Results: Activated RhoA binds to all Lbc RhoGEFs and provides positive feedback regulation to these regulators. Conclusion: Allosteric binding of activated RhoA to its own regulators facilitates other regulatory stimuli. Significance: This autoregulatory mechanism could mediate robust localized signaling and may represent a general paradigm for regulation of other monomeric GTPases.
