Fig. 8. Specific role of Rho GTPases in syndecan-4 endocytosis. The contributions of Rac1, Cdc42 and RhoA GTPases to syndecan-4 endocytosis were studied in FcR-S4-expressing RFPEC transiently transfected with eGFP-tagged dominant negative and constitutively active constructs. (A) A dominant negative Rac1 completely inhibited (left panels) while a constitutively active Rac1 stimulated (right panels) FcR-S4 endocytosis. (B) The expression of a dominant negative Cdc42 construct (left) somewhat inhibited FcR-S4 endocytosis while a constitutively active (right) Cdc42 constructs had no effect. (C) The expression of dominant negative (left) or constitutively active (right) RhoA constructs had no effect on FcR-S4 endocytosis. CA, constitutively active; DN, dominant negative. Scale bars, 10 µm.
