General description

cdc42 is a member of the Rho family of small GTP-binding proteins, and plays roles in cytoskeletal Actin organization as well as transformation. Rac is activated downstream of cdc42, or independently by Ras signaling, and in turn Rac stimulates Rho. Activation of cdc42 stimulates filopodia formation, whereas Rac results in the formation of lamellipodia, and Rho stimulates formation of actin stress fibers. Effectors of the cdc42/Rac pathway include NADPH Oxidase (Phox) and the SAPK1/JNK family of kinases. The latter pathway is activated by the PAK kinases, which are direct targets of cdc42.

Specificity

Recognizes Cdc42, does not cross react with Rac1. Cdc42 is a member of the Rho family of small GTPases. Small GTPases act as molecular switches in regulating a variety of biological response pathways by cycling from the GDP-bound (inactive) and GTP-bound (active) states. Cdc42 induces the formation of filopodia. Cdc42 can activate Rac (consequently, filopodia are intimately associated with lamellipodia.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 130-141 of human Cdc42
(AKNKQKPITPET-C).

We describe a rapid assay for measuring the cellular activity of small guanine triphosphatases (GTPases) in response to a specific stimulus. Effector-functionalized beads are used to quantify in parallel multiple GTP-bound GTPases in the same cell lysate by flow cytometry.
