RhoGAP_Graf: GTPase-activator protein (GAP) domain for Rho-like GTPases found in GRAF (GTPase regulator associated with focal adhesion kinase); Graf is a multi-domain protein, containing SH3 and PH domains, that binds focal adhesion kinase and influences cytoskeletal changes mediated by Rho proteins. Graf exhibits GAP activity toward RhoA and Cdc42, but only weakly activates Rac1. Small GTPases cluster into distinct families, and all act as molecular switches, active in their GTP-bound form but inactive when GDP-bound. The Rho family of GTPases activates effectors involved in a wide variety of developmental processes, including regulation of cytoskeleton formation, cell proliferation and the JNK signaling pathway. GTPases generally have a low intrinsic GTPase hydrolytic activity but there are family-specific groups of GAPs that enhance the rate of GTP hydrolysis by several orders of magnitude.
