Activation of Rac1 by a Crk SH3-binding protein, DOCK180.
نویسندگان
چکیده
DOCK180 is involved in integrin signaling through CrkII-p130(Cas) complexes. We have studied the involvement of DOCK180 in Rac1 signaling cascades. DOCK180 activated JNK in a manner dependent on Rac1, Cdc42Hs, and SEK, and overexpression of DOCK180 increased the amount of GTP-bound Rac1 in 293T cells. Coexpression of CrkII and p130(Cas) enhanced this DOCK180-dependent activation of Rac1. Furthermore, we observed direct binding of DOCK180 to Rac1, but not to RhoA or Cdc42Hs. Dominant-negative Rac1 suppressed DOCK180-induced membrane spreading. These results strongly suggest that DOCK180 is a novel activator of Rac1 and involved in integrin signaling.

متن کاملPTP1B inhibitor promotes endothelial cell motility by activating the DOCK180/Rac1 pathway
Promoting endothelial cell (EC) migration is important not only for therapeutic angiogenesis, but also for accelerating re-endothelialization after vessel injury. Several recent studies have shown that inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) may promote EC migration and angiogenesis by enhancing the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2) signalling. In the present ...
متن کاملActivation of Rac1 by RhoG regulates cell migration.
Cell migration is essential for normal development and many pathological processes. Rho-family small GTPases play important roles in this event. In particular, Rac regulates lamellipodia formation at the leading edge during migration. The small GTPase RhoG activates Rac through its effector ELMO and the ELMO-binding protein Dock180, which functions as a Rac-specific guanine nucleotide exchange ...

Crk is the prototypical member of a class of Src homology 2 (SH2) and Src homology 3 (SH3) domain-containing adaptor proteins that positively regulate cell motility via the activation of Rac1 and, in certain tumor types such as GBM, can promote cell invasion and metastasis by mechanisms that are not well understood. Here we demonstrate that Crk, via its phosphorylation at Tyr251, promotes invas...
