Although various guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) are involved in the activation of Rho GTPases, the precise mechanism regulating such activity remains unclear. We have examined whether ERK1/2 are involved in the phosphorylation of GEF-H1, a GEF toward RhoA, to modulate its activity. Expression of GEF-H1 in HT1080 cells with constitutive ERK1/2 activation induced its phosphorylation at Thr(678), which was totally abolished by treating the cells with PD184352, an ERK pathway inhibitor. Stimulation of HeLa S3 cells with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate induced the phosphorylation of GEF-H1 in an ERK-dependent manner. ERK1/2-mediated Thr(678)-phosphorylation enhanced the guanine nucleotide exchange activity of GEF-H1 toward RhoA. These results suggest that the ERK pathway, by enhancing the GEF-H1 activity, contributes to the activation of RhoA to regulate the actin assembly, a necessary event for the induction of cellular responses including proliferation and motility.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":4.454347296253507,"endowment":4.454347296253507,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"18211802","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2089809507","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology","grant_id":"","title":null}],"total_grants":1,"fwci":2.0789,"citation_percentile":0.86742928,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2012,"count":5},{"year":2013,"count":9},{"year":2014,"count":3},{"year":2015,"count":5},{"year":2016,"count":5},{"year":2017,"count":5},{"year":2018,"count":1},{"year":2019,"count":6},{"year":2020,"count":6},{"year":2021,"count":3},{"year":2022,"count":2},{"year":2023,"count":5},{"year":2024,"count":4},{"year":2025,"count":5},{"year":2026,"count":5}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"https://www.elsevier.com/legal/tdmrep-license","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0006291X08001307?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0006291X08001307?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbrc.2008.01.066","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18211802","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Protein Kinase Regulation and GTPase Signaling","Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases","Melanoma and MAPK Pathways","Cell Line, Tumor","Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors","Guanine Nucleotides","Humans","Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 1","Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 3","Phosphorylation","Phosphothreonine","Protein Binding","Rho Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors","rhoA GTP-Binding Protein"],"mesh_terms":["Guanine Nucleotides","Humans","Phosphorylation","Phosphothreonine","Protein Binding","Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 1","Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors","rhoA GTP-Binding Protein","Cell Line, Tumor","Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 3","Rho Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors"],"keywords":["Guanine nucleotide exchange factor","RHOA","Guanine","Phosphorylation","Nucleotide","Chemistry","Cell biology","GTPase","Biochemistry","Biology","Signal transduction","Gene"],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-07-28T15:18:49.146381Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
