Abstract excerpt
Rac1 is a small member of the Rho GTPase family. One of the most important downstream effectors of Rac1 is a serine/threonine kinase, p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1). Mutational activation of PAK1 by Rac1 has oncogenic signaling effects. Here, although we focus on Rac1-PAK1 interaction by atomic-force-microscopy-based single-molecule force spectroscopy experiments, we explore the effect of active mutations on the...
