1 We show here that PtdIns, PtdIns4P, PtdIns3,4P2, PtdIns4,5P2 and PtdInsP3 enhance not only the C3-dependent ADP-ribosylation, but also the GDP/GTP exchange in the RhoA component of the prenylated RhoA/Rho-GDI complex. Guanosine Diphosphate Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor alpha Homo sapiens
2 In contrast, in the nonprenylated RhoA/Rho-GDI complex, the levels of ADP-ribosylation and GDP/GTP exchange are of the same order as those measured on free RhoA and are not modified by phosphoinositides. Guanosine Diphosphate Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor alpha Homo sapiens
3 We conclude that in the presence of phosphoinositides, the prenylated RhoA/Rho-GDI complex partially opens, which allows RhoA to exchange GDP for GTP. Guanosine Diphosphate Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor alpha Homo sapiens
