RESUMO

DOCK180 is involved in integrin signaling through CrkII-p130Cas 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 p130Cas 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.
