Abstract excerpt
Chimaerins are a family of GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) for the small G-protein Rac that have gained recent attention due to their important roles in development, cancer, neuritogenesis, and T-cell function. Like protein kinase C isozymes, chimaerins possess a C1 domain capable of binding phorbol esters and the lipid second messenger diacylglycerol (DAG) in vitro. Here we identified an autoinhibitory...
