  ABSTRACT  
 
The guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) Vav1 plays an important role in T-cell activation and tumorigenesis. In the GEF superfamily, Vav1 has the ability to interact with multiple families of Rho GTPases. The structure of the Vav1 DH-PH-CRD/Rac1 complex to 2.6 A resolution reveals a unique intramolecular network of contacts between the Vav1 cysteine-rich domain (CRD) and the C-terminal helix of the Vav1 Dbl homology (DH) domain. These unique interactions stabilize the Vav1 DH domain for its intimate association with the Switch II region of Rac1 that is critical for the displacement of the guanine nucleotide. Small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) studies support this domain arrangement for the complex in solution. Further, mutational analyses confirms that the atypical CRD is critical for maintaining both optimal guanine nucleotide exchange activity and broader specificity of Vav family GEFs. Taken together, the data outline the detailed nature of Vav1's ability to contact a range of Rho GTPases using a novel protein-protein interaction network.

Fig. 2. (a) Complete interlock network between the Vav1 DH domain, PH domain, and CRD. The DH domain is depicted in blue, the PH domain in cyan, and the CRD in magenta. Critical interactions between the domains are shown with dotted black lines. (b) Superposition of the Vav1 CRD (magenta) on the Raf1 CRD (grey) previously described.^22 The overall structures are similar, with both similarly coordinating two zinc ions depicted as spheres.

Fig. 8. Disruption of the β2/β3 region interface in the Vav1/Rac1 structure. Comparison of the Tiam1/Rac β2/β3 region (left) and the Vav/Rac β2/β3 region (right). Tiam1 (cyan) forms an integrated network with the B2/B3 region of Rac1 (grey) in addition to a hydrogen bond between Trp56 of Rac1 and His1178 of Tiam1. Vav1 (blue) forms only one hydrogen bond in this region, between Ser41 of the B2/B3 of Rac1 (green) and Arg319 of the DH domain of Vav1. In addition, Trp56 of Rac1 does not form any interaction with the DH domain of Vav1, polar or hydrophobic.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
