text
  • with PLK1 colocalize at the spindle pole and central spindle during mitosis and cytokinesis (Asiedu 2008)
  • localizes to the central spindle and cleavage furrow
  • basic FUNCTION
  • role in regulating RHOA and RHOC activation as well as cell polarity and invasion in an invasive breast cancer (Wu 2009)
  • cooperates with MYH9 to regulate the polarity and invasion activity of breast cancer cells through activation of RHOA and RHOC (Wu 2009)
  • activates RHOA, and is required for cytokinesis (Asiedu 2008)
  • activates RhoG and to a much lesser extent RAC1 (D'Angelo 2007)
  • PLEKHG6 and ezrin are both required in macropinocytosis (D'Angelo 2007)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • forms a complex with ezrin and RHOG (D'Angelo 2007)
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interaction between ezrin and PLEKHG6 (ezrin recruits PLEKHG6 to the apical pole of epithelial cells where PLEKHG6 induces the formation of microvilli and membrane ruffles) (D'Angelo 2007)
  • interacts with MYH9 and exhibits activity toward RHOA (acting as a functional unit at the cleavage furrow to advance furrow ingression during cytokinesis) (Wu 2006)
  • interacts with centrosome/spindle pole-associated protein (CSPP), which is concentrated at the spindle pole and central spindle during mitosis and cytokinesis (C-terminus of PLEKHG6 and N-terminus of CSPP1 are required for their interaction)(PMID;
