RESUMO

Transient intracellular expression of ExoT in CHO cells stimulated cell rounding and actin reorganization. Biochemical studies showed that ExoT was a GTPase-activating protein for RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42. Together, these data show that ExoT interferes with Rho signal transduction pathways, which regulate actin organization, exocytosis, cell cycle progression, and phagocytosis.
