Rnd1 is constitutively GTP-bound due to low affinity for GDP, rapid spontaneous nucleotide exchange, and lack of intrinsic GTPase activity. Expression of Rnd1 in fibroblasts induces disassembly of actin stress fibers, membrane ruffles, and integrin-based focal adhesions, leading to cell rounding and loss of cell-substrate adhesion. |

Rnd1 (and RhoD) directly binds the cytoplasmic domain of Plexin-A1; active Rnd1 is sufficient to trigger Plexin-A1 signaling and cytoskeletal collapse even without Sema3A ligand, while RhoD antagonizes Rnd1-mediated Plexin-A1 activation and blocks Sema3A-induced axon repulsion. |

Rnd1 directly associates with FRS2alpha and FRS2beta (FGF receptor docking proteins); FRS2beta binding suppresses Rnd1's inhibitory effect on RhoA. FGF receptor 1 activation phosphorylates FRS2beta, recruits Shp2, and releases Rnd1 from FRS2beta, allowing free Rnd1 to inhibit RhoA. Knockdown of Rnd1 by siRNA suppresses FGF-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. |

Rnd1 is required for neuronal activity-dependent dendritic development in hippocampal neurons; RNAi knockdown of Rnd1 inhibits dendritic growth and branching, and this effect is rescued by inhibition of ROCK (RhoA effector), placing Rnd1 as an antagonist of the RhoA-ROCK pathway in dendritic development. |

Rac1, Rnd1, and RhoD all bind the same region (beta-strands 3-4 and a short alpha-helical segment) of the plexin-B1 Rho GTPase binding domain (RBD), which adopts a ubiquitin-like fold. GTPase binding destabilizes the RBD homodimer, suggesting a model for receptor activation by monomerization. |

Thermodynamic characterization reveals that Rnd1 and Rac1 bind the plexin-B1 RBD with similar affinities but with different thermodynamic signatures: Rac1 binding induces rigidification of the complex while Rnd1 binding is consistent with unchanged or increased flexibility, suggesting distinct downstream signaling mechanisms. |

Crystal structures of the plexin-A2 RBD in complex with Rnd1 and of plexin-C1 and -D1 RBDs alone reveal that the RBD beta3-beta4 loop in plexin-A2 and -B1 adjusts conformation to allow Rnd1 binding, while plexin-C1 and -D1 lack key non-polar residues at this surface; introduction of these residues by mutagenesis generates Rnd1-binding affinity in plexin-C1/-D1. |
