Vesicle Trafficking: ROP–RIC Roundabout
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mechanisms governing dynamic protein recycling include small GTPases that activate/inactivate their partner proteins to affect cytoskeletal dynamics, and thereby polar growth, asymmetric cell shape and physiological responses to external stimuli. Three recent studies illustrate the control of PIN endocytosis by ROP-RIC activity in leaf pavement cells and root cells.

Rop, the Sec1/Munc18 homolog in Drosophila, is required for furrow ingression and stable cell shape during cytokinesis.
Physically separating daughter cells during cytokinesis requires contraction of an actin-myosin ring and vesicle-mediated membrane addition at the cleavage furrow. To identify vesicle trafficking proteins that function in cytokinesis, we screened deficiencies and mutations of candidate genes by live imaging the mitotic domains of the Drosophila embryo. In embryos homozygous for some of these de...
متن کاملA Novel ROP/RAC Effector Links Cell Polarity, Root-Meristem Maintenance, and Vesicle Trafficking
ROP/RAC GTPases are master regulators of cell polarity in plants, implicated in the regulation of diverse signaling cascades including cytoskeleton organization, vesicle trafficking, and Ca(2+) gradients [1-8]. The involvement of ROPs in differentiation processes is yet unknown. Here we show the identification of a novel ROP/RAC effector, designated interactor of constitutive active ROPs 1 (ICR...
متن کاملRic-3 promotes alpha7 nicotinic receptor assembly and trafficking through the ER subcompartment of dendrites.
The function of Ric-3, which is required for nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) expression in C. elegans, is unclear. Here we found that Ric-3 can promote or inhibit cell-surface delivery of alpha-bungarotoxin-binding nAChRs (BgtRs) composed of alpha7 subunits. At low levels, Ric-3 promoted BgtR assembly, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) release, and cell-surface delivery without trafficking fr...
متن کاملThe ROP vesicle release factor is required in adult Drosophila glia for normal circadian behavior
We previously showed that endocytosis and/or vesicle recycling mechanisms are essential in adult Drosophila glial cells for the neuronal control of circadian locomotor activity. In this study, our goal was to identify specific glial vesicle trafficking, recycling, or release factors that are required for rhythmic behavior. From a glia-specific, RNAi-based genetic screen, we identified eight gli...
متن کاملUpdate on the Regulation of Membrane Trafficking by ROP/RAC GTPases Regulation of Membrane Trafficking, Cytoskeleton Dynamics, and Cell Polarity by ROP/RAC GTPases
Rho of plants (ROP) proteins, also known as RAC proteins, are Rho-related GTPases that function as molecular switches in a multitude of signaling cascades involved in the regulation of the actin and microtubule cytoskeleton, of vesicle trafficking, and of plant responses to hormones, stresses, or light (Yang, 2002; Berken, 2006; Nibau et al., 2006; Yang and Fu, 2007). Rho GTPases are Ras-relate...
