摘要:
The present invention relates to all aspects of a guanine exchange factor (GEF), for example, a Rho-GEF, such as p115 Rho-GEF. A GEF modulates cell signaling pathways, both in in vitro and in vivo, by modulating the activity of a GTPase. By way of illustration, a p115 Rho-GEF, which modulates the activity of a Rho GTPase, is described. However, the present invention relates to other GEFs, especially other Rho-GEFs. The present invention particularly relates to an isolated p115 Rho-GEF polypeptide or fragments of it, a nucleic acid coding for p115 Rho-GEF or fragments of it, and derivatives of the polypeptide and nucleic acid. The invention also relates to methods of using such polypeptides, nucleic acids, or derivatives thereof, e.g., in therapeutics, diagnostics, and as research tools. Another aspect of the present invention involves antibodies and other ligands which recognize p115 Rho-GEF, regulators of p115 Rho-GEF activity, and methods of treating pathological conditions associated or related to a Rho GTPase.
