Annotated paper:Raynaud F, et al. "Rho-GTPase-activating protein interacting with Cdc-42-interacting protein 4 homolog 2 (Rich2): a new Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) GTPase-activating protein that controls dendritic spine morphogenesis" J Biol Chem. 2014 Jan 31;289(5):2600-9 PMID:24352656
Figure(s):Fig.3
Annotation description:Local activation GTPase shown with OE of mEGFP-tagged RHOA (FRET assay with Raichu probes).

Fig.3: "Rich2 selectively regulates Rac1"
Although not regulated by Rich2, presence of activated RhoA can be seen in the heads of dendritic spines.
- Literal: "Conversely, the signals obtained with either pRAICHU-RhoA and pRAICHU-Cdc42 were unchanged by the modifications of Rich2 expression (Fig. 3, D and E)."
