Arf and Rho GTP-binding proteins coordinately regulate membrane dynamics and cytoskeletal rearrangements. The Cdc42/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor PIX and the Arf GTPase-activating protein GIT form a stable complex in cells. The PIX-GIT complex functions to integrate signaling among Arf, Cdc42, and Rac proteins in response to cues emanating from integrins, heterotrimeric G proteins, receptor tyrosine kinases, and cell-cell interactions. A concept that emerges from the literature is that the PIX-GIT complex serves as a cassette to elicit changes in cell shape essential for polarized cell responses in a wide range of biological contexts.
Arf和Rho GTP结合蛋白协同调节膜动力学和细胞骨架重排。Cdc42/Rac鸟嘌呤核苷酸交换因子PIX与Arf GTP酶激活蛋白GIT在细胞中形成稳定复合物。PIX - GIT复合物的功能是整合来自整合素、异源三聚体G蛋白、受体酪氨酸激酶和细胞间相互作用发出的信号,以在Arf、Cdc42和Rac蛋白之间传递信号。文献中出现的一个概念是,PIX - GIT复合物作为一个组件,在广泛的生物学背景下引发细胞形状变化,这对极化细胞反应至关重要。
