Rho GTPases are crucial regulators of the actin cytoskeleton and they play a role in the control of membrane trafficking. In contrast to the close family members RhoA and RhoC, RhoB localises to endosomes and delays epidermal growth factor receptor traffic. Here, we show that activated RhoB induces the peripheral distribution of endosomes, which align along subcortical actin stress fibres and are surrounded by an actin coat. The Diaphanous-related formin, Dia1, is recruited to endosomes by activated RhoB. Dia1 is required for the formation of the actin coat around endosomes downstream of RhoB, connecting membrane trafficking with the regulation of actin dynamics.

D000199 Actins Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers. The filaments (known also as filamentous or F-actin) can be dissociated into their globular subunits; each subunit is composed of a single polypeptide 375 amino acids long. This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.
