Membrane traffic and actin cytoskeleton dynamics are intimately linked, and GTPases of the Rho and ARF families may work together to regulate both. Recent studies have identified a family of GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) that contain both ARF-GAP and Rho-GAP domains, providing the first direct link between these two signaling pathways.
膜运输与肌动蛋白细胞骨架动力学密切相关,Rho和ARF家族的GTP酶可能共同作用来调节二者。最近的研究鉴定出了一类同时含有ARF-GAP和Rho-GAP结构域的GTP酶激活蛋白(GAP)家族,这为这两条信号通路之间提供了首个直接联系。
