Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

The PREX1 protein also known as phosphatidylinositol 345-trisphosphate-dependent Rac exchange factor 1 operates as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF). It facilitates the activation of the small GTPase RAC1 by exchanging GDP for GTP. The protein has a molecular mass of approximately 185 kDa. PREX1 is widely expressed in various tissues with higher levels observed in brain heart and leukocytes. Additionally it contains several distinct domains including the DH domain responsible for its GEF activity PH domain for lipid binding and DEP domain aiding in signaling pathway integration.
Biological function summary

PREX1 plays a fundamental role in modulating cellular processes such as cell migration growth and survival. It interacts with RAC1 enabling the restructuring of the actin cytoskeleton and promoting cell motility. PREX1 does not only function in isolation but is often found within complexes that influence RAC1 activity. It cooperates with proteins like PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) enhancing downstream signaling events integral to cellular function.

Pathways

PREX1 participates in pathways like PI3K/Akt and RAC1 signaling. These pathways are pivotal in regulating cellular responses to external stimuli. Interaction with PI3K leads to PREX1 activation by PIP3 which in turn activates RAC1. This association is important for signal transduction involved in cellular growth and survival. Furthermore PREX1's interaction with proteins like AKT and mTOR highlights its involvement in metabolic regulation and cellular homeostasis.

PREX1 exhibits significant correlation with cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Aberrant PREX1 expression or function often leads to altered RAC1 signaling contributing to tumorigenesis and metastasis in cancers such as breast cancer. The dysregulation of PREX1 also associates with cardiovascular conditions by influencing vascular tone and heart muscle contractility. These disease associations emphasize interactions with proteins like PI3K and RAC1 highlighting their roles in disease pathophysiology.

Target data

Functions as a RAC guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), which activates the Rac proteins by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. Its activity is synergistically activated by phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate and the beta gamma subunits of heterotrimeric G protein. May function downstream of heterotrimeric G proteins in neutrophils.
