The Arf GTPase exchange factor Sec7p interaction network:
… screens before focusing on the role of Arf exchange factors. We report two new physical interactors of the late Golgi Arf-GEF Sec7p: the lipid kinase Pik1p and the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase Cpd1p. In addition, our studies on the function of Sec7p revealed additional feature of this …

Functional Analysis of Cytosolic Hsp70 Nucleotide Exchange Factor Networks In Yeast
… interact with up to three distinct nucleotide exchange factors (NEFs) homologous to human counterparts; Sse1/Sse2/HSP110, Fes1/HspBP1, and Snl1/Bag1. In an effort to understand the differential functional contributions of the cytosolic NEFs to protein homeostasis (“proteostasis”), I carried out …

The Role of BiP Nucleotide Exchange Factor Sil1 in Immunoglobulin Biosynthesis
… genres of cochaperones, HSP40s, and nucleotide exchange factors (NEFs). HSP40s function in stimulating the hydrolysis of ATP, which causes a conformational change that induces tight binding of BiP to substrate, whereas, NEFs stimulate the escape of ADP that allows BiP to release substrate so …

The Role of the Ras Guanyl-Nucleotide Exchange Factor Rasgrp1 in Synaptic Transmission
… Austausch Faktor (englisch: guanly-nucleotide exchange factor, GEF) und wird in hohem Maße im Hippocampus exprimiert. Viele andere GEFs und auch GTPase aktivierende Proteine (GAPs), die Ras Proteine regulieren, wurden schon auf ihre neuronale Funktion hin untersucht. Im Gegensatz dazu wurde die …

Invesitagating the role of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor P-Rex1 in cell invasion
… cytoskeleton. P-Rex1, a Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), was previously identified in this lab in a transcriptional screen for mediators of cell invasion. A number of GEFs have been shown to regulate the invasive phenotype of tumours and cancer cell lines, leading to the hypothesis …

The WXXXE Effector Map Functions as a Potent and Specific Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor for CDC42
… facilitated by the action of GTPase activating factors (GAPs) and Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors (GEFs). GAPs accelerate the intrinsic catalytic activity of the GTPase to physiologically relevant levels and lead to the rapid inactivation of a GTPase. GEFs conformationally eject bound GDP …

Identification and characterization of genetic interactors of the Rho Guanine-nucleotide exchange factor Pebble in <em>Drosophila</em>
… C-terminal tail might regulate or enhance the exchange activity of Pbl for Rac. The localization and function of Pbl depends on the PH domain and the C-terminal tail of Pbl. Both domains have distinct roles during Pbl function in mesoderm cell migration.

Characterization of Tuba, a novel Ena/VASP ligand, and function of Ena/VASP proteins in mouse development
… in vivo. Tuba is a unique guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Cdc42 that binds dynamin and a number of actin regulatory proteins in addition to Ena/VASP proteins. A knockout of EVL was made to determine the requirement for EVL in mouse development. Genetic analysis of EnaNASP function …

The Src- and Abl- Dependent Regulation of Net1A In Breast Cancer
… gene 1 (Net1) is a RhoA guanine nucleotide exchange factor that promotes cancer cell motility and metastasis. Two isoforms of Net1 exist, Net1 and Net1A, both of which are which sequestered in the nucleus in quiescent cells to prevent aberrant RhoA activation. Many cell motility stimuli …

An investigation of the functional role of GRAB in the context of Rab3, Rab8 and Rab11
… an effector for Rab11a and a Guanine nucleotide Exchange Factor (GEF) for Rab8a. Rabin8 participates in a conserved Rab activation cascade which is critical in the formation of primary cilia. Data presented in this thesis has shown that GRAB interacts with Rab3a, Rab8a, Rab11a and Rab11b in a …

Biochemical and Structural Analysis of the Nucleoporin Nup214 and its Involvement in mRNA Export
… Finally, I speculate that Nup214 is the ATP-exchange factor for Ddx19, and propose the Ddx19 ATPase cycle as the terminal step in mRNA export.</p>

An Investigation into the Role of Arf6 in MCH-mediated Rearrangements in 3T3-L1 Preadipocytes
… that MCHR1 activates ARNO, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that is required in the subsequent activation of ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6). These events in succession may result in destabilized actin in murine 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. A pharmaceutical inhibitor of Arf6, NAV-2729, as well as …

The interferon alpha receptor utilises T-cell receptor-associated proteins for signalling
… to the IFNAR; the 95kDa guanosine nucleotide exchange factor, Vav, and the 76kDa adaptor protein Slp76. This proceeds in a similar manner to that observed at the TCR. Furthermore, the absence of either protein impairs IFNAR-induced ERK MAPK signalling. The similarities between TCR and IFNAR …
