Abstract Background: Rho GTPases are essential regulators for cellular movement and intracellular membrane trafficking. Their enzymatic activities fluctuate between active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound states regulated by GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) and guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). Arhgap39/Vilse/Porf-2 is a newly identified GAP. The role of Arhgap39 in migration and invasion has not been addressed thoroughly. Methods: The Arhgap39 gene was knocked out by Crispr-Cas9 gene editing in mouse Hepa1-6 and Hepa-1c1c7 cells to analyze the impact of Arhgap39 depletion on migration and invasion. Results: Loss of Arhgap39 noticeably increased the migration and invasive potential. Purified Arhgap39… More >
