Interestingly, RhoA is also known to be instrumental in the kinetics of cyclin D1 expression, specifically in G1 phase of the cell cycle [8].
RhoA G14V (a construct containing a mutation at G14V to render it constitutively active) and RhoA T19N (a construct containing a mutation at T19N, giving it a dominant negative phenotype) constructs were utilized in a cDNA3.1+ vector and were obtained from the Guthrie research institute http://www.cdna.org.
Transient transfection of dominant-negative RhoA (RhoA T19N) and constitutively active (RhoA G14V) constructs were utilised to confirm the regulatory role of Rho in cyclin D1 induction (Fig 3a).

 The Role of RhoA in Early Heart Development
RhoA is a small GTPase that acts as a molecular switch to control a variety of signal transduction pathways in eukaryotes.
In earlier studies from this laboratory that employed differential display and in situ hybridisation, RhoA was indicated as being up-regulated during the stages of early heart development in the developing chick embryo.
To investigate such a mechanism as a possible explanation for the requirement of RhoA in cardiomyocyte differentiation, the P19CL6 inducible cell system over-expressing different forms of RhoA was analysed through real-time PCR to quantify the levels of transcription of genes known to play an important role in early heart development.
