RhoGAP_fBEM3: RhoGAP (GTPase-activator [GAP] protein for Rho-like small GTPases) domain of fungal BEM3-like proteins. Bem3 is a GAP protein of Cdc42, and is specifically involved in the control of the initial assembly of the septin ring in yeast bud formation. 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.
