Abstract excerpt
Vav2 is a member of the Vav family that serves as guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for the Rho family of Ras-related GTPases. Unlike Vav1, whose expression is restricted to cells of hematopoietic origin, Vav2 is broadly expressed. Recently, Vav2 has been identified as a substrate for the EGF receptor. Here, we show that in EGF-treated COS7 cells Vav2 is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues and associates...
