Disease relevance of Arf6

  • To determine whether ARF6 is involved in insulin-regulated exocytosis, 3T3-L1 adipocytes were infected with recombinant adenovirus expressing wild-type ARF6 or an ARF6 dominant negative mutant (D125N) that encodes a protein with nucleotide specificity modified from guanine to xanthine [1].
 

High impact information on Arf6

  • PIP2 formation is regulated by Arf6 [2].
  • This reduction in PIP2 occurred in spite of fact that PIP5K appeared to be recruited efficiently to the site of bacterial binding, indicating a role for Arf6 in activation of the kinase [2].
  • V-ATPase interacts with ARNO and Arf6 in early endosomes and regulates the protein degradative pathway [3].
  • A dominant-negative mutant of ARF6 (T27N mutation) dramatically affected FcR-mediated phagocytosis [4].
  • Here, we report that endogenous ADP ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6), a small GTP-binding protein, undergoes a sharp and transient activation in macrophages when phagocytosis was initiated via receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulins (FcRs) [4].
 

Biological context of Arf6

  • Livers from ARF6-/- embryos are smaller and exhibit hypocellularity, due to the onset of midgestational liver cell apoptosis [5].
  • The mammalian small GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) plays important roles in a wide variety of cellular events, including endocytosis, actin cytoskeletal reorganization, and phosphoinositide metabolism [5].
 

Anatomical context of Arf6

 

Associations of Arf6 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of Arf6

  • We also demonstrate that Arf6 also plays a role in the secretion of ACRP30 [7].
  • Here we investigated whether the small GTPase, ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6), which regulates actin dynamics and peripheral vesicular trafficking, is involved in the regulation of spine formation [11].
