Summary
RHOG (ras homolog family member G, HGNC:672) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11p15.4, encoding Rho-related GTP-binding protein RhoG (P84095). Plays a role in immunological synaptic F-actin density and architecture organization.
This gene encodes a member of the Rho family of small GTPases, which cycle between inactive GDP-bound and active GTP-bound states and function as molecular switches in signal transduction cascades. Rho proteins promote reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and regulate cell shape, attachment, and motility. The encoded protein facilitates translocation of a functional guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) complex from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane where ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 is activated to promote lamellipodium formation and cell migration. Two related pseudogene have been identified on chromosomes 20 and X.

Function. Plays a role in immunological synaptic F-actin density and architecture organization. Regulates actin reorganization in lymphocytes, possibly through the modulation of Rac1 activity. Required for the formation of membrane ruffles during macropinocytosis. Plays a role in cell migration and is required for the formation of cup-like structures during trans-endothelial migration of leukocytes. Binds phospholipids in an activation-dependent manner; thereby acting as an anchor for other proteins to the plasma membrane (PM). Plays a role in exocytosis of cytotoxic granules (CG) by lymphocytes/Component of the exocytosis machinery in natural killer (NK) and CD8+ T cells. Promotes the docking of cytotoxic granules (CG) to the plasma membrane through the interaction with UNC13D. Involved in the cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes/primary CD8+ T cells. (Microbial infection) In case of Salmonella enterica infection, activated by SopB and ARHGEF26/SGEF, which induces cytoskeleton rearrangements and promotes bacterial entry.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with ARHGEF26. Interacts with ARHGEF16. Interacts with UNC13D; the interaction increases RhoG affinity to the membrane lipids, targets UNC13D to membrane lipids and facilitates cytotoxic granule (CG) docking to the plasma membrane.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Post-translational modifications. (Microbial infection) Glucosylated at Thr-35 by C.difficile toxin TcdB. (Microbial infection) Glycosylated (O-GlcNAcylated) at Thr-35 by C.novyi toxin TcdA. O-GlcNAcylation completely prevents the recognition of the downstream effector, blocking the GTPases in their inactive form, leading to actin cytoskeleton disruption.
Disease relevance. Defects in RHOG may be the cause of a severe hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). The affected patient shows characteristic HLH features, such as hemophagocytosis, hepatosplenomegaly, fever, cytopenias, low hemoglobin, hypertriglyceridemia, and elevated ferritin and soluble interleukin-2 receptor.
Similarity. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rho family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 88 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
