What's a GeneRIF?

Rif has two separate roles in FARP1 regulation-in controlling its association with plexinA4, and in releasing active RhoA from a plexinA4/FARP1 complex.
Title: The Rif GTPase regulates cytoskeletal signaling from plexinA4 to promote neurite retraction.
In the present review, our aim is to summarize the current information about the Rif effectors and how Rif remodels actin cytoskeleton in many aspects. [Review]
Title: The small Rho GTPase Rif and actin cytoskeletal remodelling.
The authors show that enteropathogenic Escherichia coli translocates EspH, which inactivates mammalian RhoGEFs and triggers cytotoxicity.
Title: The interplay between the Escherichia coli Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor effectors and the mammalian RhoGEF inhibitor EspH.
Rif GTPase is an alternative trigger of stress-fiber formation in epithelial cells.
Title: The small GTPase Rif is an alternative trigger for the formation of actin stress fibers in epithelial cells.
deletion of genes RHOF in early-stage mycosis fungoides.
Title: Array-based comparative genomic hybridization in early-stage mycosis fungoides: recurrent deletion of tumor suppressor genes BCL7A, SMAC/DIABLO, and RHOF.
The protein encoded by this gene causes the formation of long, actin-rich filopodia. In combination with RAC1 and CDC42 it causes additional actin rearrangments, suggesting that this protein is intimately involved in regulation of the cytoskeleton.
Title: The novel Rho-family GTPase rif regulates coordinated actin-based membrane rearrangements.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
