RhoGAP_fSAC7_BAG7: RhoGAP (GTPase-activator protein [GAP] for Rho-like small GTPases) domain of fungal SAC7 and BAG7-like proteins. Both proteins are GTPase activating proteins of Rho1, but differ functionally in vivo: SAC7, but not BAG7, is involved in the control of Rho1-mediated activation of the PKC-MPK1 pathway. Small GTPases cluster into distinct families, and all act as molecular switches, active in their GTP-bound form but inactive when GDP-bound. The Rho family of GTPases activates effectors involved in a wide variety of developmental processes, including regulation of cytoskeleton formation, cell proliferation and the JNK signaling pathway. GTPases generally have a low intrinsic GTPase hydrolytic activity but there are family-specific groups of GAPs that enhance the rate of GTP hydrolysis by several orders of magnitude.
