Product details

RAC, Cdc 42 and Rho A, B, and C are members of a small RhoGTPase family that bind and hydrolyze GTP. GTP bound RAC 1 and cdc 42 play a pivotal role in controlling cell shape, adhesion, growth and transformation. Active Rac 1 is implicated in regulating serum response element (SRE), NFAT 1 and nuclear factor kappa B (NF kappa B) transcription activities. Activated RAC 1 and Cdc 42 bind and activate PAK 1, which in turn activates key downstream signaling proteins including MEKK 1 and JNK. RAC 1 and Cdc 42 are phosphorylated on serine 71, a putative Akt site located between the protein binding domain and GTP binding domain. Phosphorylation of RAC 1 on serine 71 regulates its GTP binding and GTPase activity.

Supplementary information

RAC1 and Cdc42 are small Rho GTPases involved in regulating various cellular processes related to the cytoskeleton. RAC1 also known as Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 has a molecular mass of approximately 21 kDa. These proteins are found in a wide range of tissues displaying high expression levels in places like the brain and immune cells. They function as molecular switches cycling between an active GTP-bound state and an inactive GDP-bound state facilitating signal transduction for numerous cellular responses.
Biological function summary

RAC1 and Cdc42 critically influence actin cytoskeleton dynamics and cell morphology. They are part of the Rho family small GTPase interactive with downstream effectors to control cell shape movement and division. These proteins play significant roles in membrane trafficking cell cycle progression and apoptosis. RAC1 along with Cdc42 forms part of a complex network that is essential for functional cytoskeleton reorganization important in neuronal activity and immune cell functioning.

Pathways

RAC1 and Cdc42 mediate signal transduction in the PI3K/AKT pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway. In the PI3K/AKT pathway these proteins interact with other components like PAK proteins which serve as essential mediators for survival and growth signals. In the Wnt pathway RAC1 and Cdc42 influence gene transcription helping control cellular proliferation and differentiation. Their roles in these pathways show their importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.

RAC1 and Cdc42 connect to cancer and neurological disorders. Alterations in their activity can contribute to tumor growth and metastasis as their dysregulation affects cell migration and invasion. RAC1 is especially noted for its role in various cancer types. Additionally their imbalance may lead to neurological disorders due to their effect on nerve growth and branching. RAC1 and Cdc42's interactions with proteins like RhoA and β-catenin underline their significance in pathophysiological conditions making them critical targets for therapeutic exploration.

Target data

Plasma membrane-associated small GTPase which cycles between active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound states. In its active state, binds to a variety of effector proteins to regulate cellular responses such as secretory processes, phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, epithelial cell polarization, neurons adhesion, migration and differentiation, and growth-factor induced formation of membrane ruffles (PubMed : 1643658, PubMed : 22843693, PubMed : 23512198, PubMed : 28886345). Rac1 p21/rho GDI heterodimer is the active component of the cytosolic factor sigma 1, which is involved in stimulation of the NADPH oxidase activity in macrophages. Essential for the SPATA13-mediated regulation of cell migration and adhesion assembly and disassembly. Stimulates PKN2 kinase activity (PubMed : 9121475). In concert with RAB7A, plays a role in regulating the formation of RBs (ruffled borders) in osteoclasts (PubMed : 1643658). In podocytes, promotes nuclear shuttling of NR3C2; this modulation is required for a proper kidney functioning. Required for atypical chemokine receptor ACKR2-induced LIMK1-PAK1-dependent phosphorylation of cofilin (CFL1) and for up-regulation of ACKR2 from endosomal compartment to cell membrane, increasing its efficiency in chemokine uptake and degradation. In neurons, is involved in dendritic spine formation and synaptic plasticity (By similarity). In hippocampal neurons, involved in spine morphogenesis and synapse formation, through local activation at synapses by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), such as ARHGEF6/ARHGEF7/PIX (PubMed : 12695502). In synapses, seems to mediate the regulation of F-actin cluster formation performed by SHANK3. In neurons, plays a crucial role in regulating GABA(A) receptor synaptic stability and hence GABAergic inhibitory synaptic transmission through its role in PAK1 activation and eventually F-actin stabilization (By similarity). Required for DSG3 translocation to cell-cell junctions, DSG3-mediated organization of cortical F-actin bundles and anchoring of actin at cell junctions; via interaction with DSG3 (PubMed : 22796473).. Isoform B. Isoform B has an accelerated GEF-independent GDP/GTP exchange and an impaired GTP hydrolysis, which is restored partially by GTPase-activating proteins (PubMed : 14625275). It is able to bind to the GTPase-binding domain of PAK but not full-length PAK in a GTP-dependent manner, suggesting that the insertion does not completely abolish effector interaction (PubMed : 14625275).
