What's a GeneRIF?

Bem2 might be a novel GTPase-activating protein for Rho4 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Title: Control of polarized growth by the Rho family GTPase Rho4 in budding yeast: requirement of the N-terminal extension of Rho4 and regulation by the Rho GTPase-activating protein Bem2.
Bem2p and Bem3p may function as global inhibitors of Cdc42p activation during G1, and their inactivation by the Cdc28p/Cln kinase contributes to site-specific activation of Cdc42p at bud emergence
Title: Phosphorylation of Bem2p and Bem3p may contribute to local activation of Cdc42p at bud emergence.

Preferred Names: GTPase-activating protein BEM2

NP_011082.3

Rho GTPase activating protein (RhoGAP); contains RhoGAP activity specific for both Rho1p and Cdc42p, and potentially Rho4p; acts with the RhoGAP Bem3p to negatively regulate Cdc42p-dependent signal transduction; involved in the control of cytoskeleton organization and cellular morphogenesis; required for bud emergence and for the morphogenesis checkpoint in response to actin depolymerization; localizes to sites of polarized growth and the plasma membrane
