Rho GTPases are the “master builders” of the cell because they can activate an array of kinases and cytoskeletal binding proteins that remodel cytoskeletal elements to alter cell shape and movement

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

Rac and RhoA GTPases coordinate changes in cytoskeleton organization and also through Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) regulate gene expression
