Solution Structure of a Novel Cdc42 Binding Module of Bem1 and Its Interaction with Ste20 and Cdc42 [PDF]
Bem1 is a scaffold protein essential for the establishment of cell polarity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This work reports the solution structure of a Cdc42 binding module of Bem1 comprising the second SH3 domain (SH3b) and its C-terminal flanking region termed Cdc42 interacting (CI).

Cdc42 interaction with N-WASP and Toca-1 regulates membrane tubulation, vesicle formation and vesicle motility: implications for endocytosis. [PDF]
Transducer of Cdc42-dependent actin assembly (Toca-1) consists of an F-BAR domain, a Cdc42 binding site and an SH3 domain. Toca-1 interacts with N-WASP, an activator of actin nucleation that binds Cdc42.

: T cell activation is immediately followed by internalization of the T cell receptor (TCR). TCR endocytosis is required for T cell activation, but the mechanisms supporting removal of TCR from the cell surface remain incompletely understood.

Chronic inflammation evoked by pathogenic stimulus during carcinogenesis
A pathogenic (biological or chemical) stimulus is the earliest information received by a cell that can result in the disruption of homeostasis with consequent development of disease.

Targeting Rac and Cdc42 GTPases in Cancer [PDF]
Abstract Rac and Cdc42 are small GTPases that have been linked to multiple human cancers and are implicated in epithelial to mesenchymal transition, cell-cycle progression, migration/invasion, tumor growth, angiogenesis, and oncogenic transformation.

IQGAP1 Is a Component of Cdc42 Signaling to the Cytoskeleton [PDF]
The Ras-GAP related protein IQGAP1 binds several proteins, including actin, calmodulin, E-cadherin and the Rho family GTPase Cdc42. To gain insight into its in vivo function, IQGAP1 was overexpressed in mammalian cells. Transfection of IQGAP1 significantly increased the levels of active, GTP-bound Cdc42, resulting in the formation of peripheral actin ...

Breast cancer remains a major cause of cancer death in women, frequently developing endocrine therapy resistance. This study demonstrates that upregulated p21‐activated kinase 1 (PAK1) activity drives resistance to tamoxifen and long‐term estrogen deprivation in ER+ breast cancer models.

Cdc42 in oncogenic transformation, invasion, and tumorigenesis [PDF]
The Rho family of GTPases represents a class of Ras-related signaling molecules often deregulated in cancer. Rho GTPases switch from a GDP-bound, inactive state to a GTP-bound, active state in response to extracellular stimuli such as mitogens and extracellular matrix.
