Summary
RHOU (ras homolog family member U, HGNC:17794) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q42.13, encoding Rho-related GTP-binding protein RhoU (Q7L0Q8). Binds to and activates protein kinase PAK1.
This gene encodes a member of the Rho family of GTPases. This protein can activate PAK1 and JNK1, and can induce filopodium formation and stress fiber dissolution. It may also mediate the effects of WNT1 signaling in the regulation of cell morphology, cytoskeletal organization, and cell proliferation. A non-coding transcript variant of this gene results from naturally occurring read-through transcription between this locus and the neighboring DUSP5P (dual specificity phosphatase 5 pseudogene) locus.

- Wrch-1-induced morphological and growth transformation may occur in part through Par6-mediated disruption of tight junction and actin organization. (PMID:19064640)

Function. Binds to and activates protein kinase PAK1. Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology, cytoskeletal organization and focal adhesion assembly during cell migration. Also stimulates quiescent cells to reenter the cell cycle. Has no detectable GTPase activity but its high intrinsic guanine nucleotide exchange activity suggests it is constitutively GTP-bound.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with PAK1. Interacts with PAK3. Interacts with ARHGAP30 in a GTP-independent manner. In its GTP-loaded conformation, interacts with ARHGAP31. Interacts with PTK2B/PYK2. Interacts with PAK4; the interaction is PAK4 kinase activity-independent and protects RHOU from ubiquitination.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Golgi apparatus membrane. Cell junction. Focal adhesion. Cell projection. Podosome.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitously expressed in all tissues examined. Expressed at high levels in the stomach, small intestine, brain, skeletal muscle and placenta.
Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated. ‘Lys-48’-linked ubiquitination at Lys-177 and Lys-248 by the ECS(RAB40A) complex leading to its degradation. Tyrosine phosphorylated by SRC in response to PTK2B/PYK2 activation.
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 30 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.
