Abstract
Plexin-B1 regulates various cellular processes interacting directly with several Rho proteins. Molecular details of these interactions are, however, not well understood. In this study, we examined in vitro and in silico the interaction of the Rho binding domain (B1RBD) of human Plexin-B1 with 11 different Rho proteins. We show that B1RBD binds in a GTP-dependent manner to Rac1, Rac2, Rac3, Rnd1, Rnd2, Rnd3, and RhoD, but not to RhoA, Cdc42, RhoG, or Rif. Interestingly, Rnd1 competitively displaces the Rac1 from B1RBD but not vice versa. Structure–function analysis revealed a negatively charged loop region, called B1L31, which may facilitate a selective B1RBD interaction with Rho proteins.
