The Life of Schmitt 289

In control acini CCK induced translocation of soluble RhoA to the particulate fraction, while in pancreatic acini expressing p115-RGS, CCK was unable to induce RhoA translocation (Fig. 4A). These results indicate that both Gα13 and PKCα are required for CCK-induced RhoA translocation. For immunolocalization of RhoGDI1, freshly isolated pancreatic acini were stimulated with CCK for 15 min at 37°C. The sections were washed with PBS and incubated with 1∶500 dilutions of goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to Alexa 594. Prolong Gold with 4, 6-diamino-2-phenylindole was added to mounting medium to counterstain nuclei.
Conflicting results have been reported for the overexpression of RDI1. Masuda et al. show that high levels of RDI1 result in lethality, although the phenotype of these cells has not been characterized (Masuda et al., 1994). In contrast, others claim that RDI1 overexpression causes only a slightly rounder cell morphology (Tcheperegine et al., 2005). Deletion of RDI1 does not Rabbit anti Rho-GDI (Phosphospecific) Polyclonal Antibody produce any detectable phenotypes in budding yeast (Masuda et al., 1994), but in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, cells lacking RDI1 exhibit reduced polarized growth . Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor , also called ARHGDIA, is one member of ARHGDIs, which is ubiquitously expressed and interacts with several Rho GTPases, mainly including RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42.

In this regard, it is well documented that the tumor microenvironment can bestow important traits and characteristics to cancer cells which can often be absent in conventional monolayer cell cultures . Remarkably, RhoGDI was able to extract both inactive (GDP-bound) and active (GTPγS-bound, G12V/G14V) Cdc42 and Rho in a concentration-dependent manner . Although GDI extracted GDP-bound GTPase more efficiently than GTPγS-bound, G12V/G14V GTPases (1.5 fold difference), it was still able to effectively facilitate the dissociation of the latter .

Src-mediated RhoGDI phosphorylation is a novel physiological mechanism for regulating Rho GTPase cytosol membrane-cycling and activity. To the best of our knowledge, this study demonstrates, for the first time, that GDI plays a significant regulatory role in physiological insulin secretion. Several previous studies, including our own, implicated Rho subfamily G-proteins (e.g., Cdc42 and Rac) in physiological insulin secretion (3–5,19–31).

S4-FcR clustering led to RhoG activation (Fig. 1 b) with kinetics comparable with those of Rac1 activation by S4-FcR clustering (Tkachenko et al., 2006). Dynamic Ca2+ signals reflect acute changes in membrane excitability, and also mediate signaling cascades in chronic processes. In both cases, chronic Ca2+ imaging is often desired, but challenged by the cytotoxicity intrinsic to calmodulin -based GCaMP, a series of genetically-encoded Ca2+ indicators that have been widely applied. Here, we demonstrate the performance of GCaMP-X in chronic Ca2+ imaging of cortical neurons, where GCaMP-X by design is to eliminate the unwanted interactions between the conventional GCaMP and endogenous CaM-binding proteins.
A monoclonal antibody specific to RhoGDI protein was used for immunohistochemistry analysis. As a negative control, a duplicate array was stained with normal rabbit serum. 5A illustrates representative immunostaining images for different samples during the progression of breast cancer. In normal breast epithelium and benign tumors RhoGDI was localized to areas
