摘要
RhoB is a small GTPase that regulates actin organization and vesicle transport. It is required for signalling apoptosis in transformed cells that are exposed to farnesyltransferase inhibitors, DNA-damaging agents or taxol. Genetic analysis in mice indicates that RhoB is dispensable for normal cell physiology, but that it has a suppressor or negative modifier function in stress-associated processes, including cancer.
