The Cdc42/Rac Interactive Binding Region Motif of the Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome Protein (WASP) Is Necessary but Not Sufficient for Tight Binding to Cdc42 and Structure Formation

Abstract excerpt

Wiskott Aldrich syndrome is a rare hereditary disease that affects cell morphology and signal transduction in hematopoietic cells. Different size fragments of the Wiskott Aldrich syndrome protein, W4, W7 and W13, were expressed in Escherichia coli or obtained from proteolysis. All contain the GTPase binding domain (GBD), also called Cdc42/Rac interactive binding region (CRIB), found in many putative downstream...
