1 We now show that: 1) Trio and another Rac GEF (Tiam1) act by inducing GDP to GTP exchange on prenylated Rac1-GDP and that our earlier assertion that activation is GTP-independent is explained by contamination of p67phox preparations with GTP and/or ATP. Guanosine Diphosphate Ras protein specific guanine nucleotide releasing factor 1 Homo sapiens

Guanosine Diphosphate Ras protein specific guanine nucleotide releasing factor 1 Homo sapiens
3 4) The ability of ATP to support GEF-induced oxidase activation is explained by ATP serving as a gamma-phosphoryl donor for a membrane-localized nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK), converting GDP to GTP. Guanosine Diphosphate Ras protein specific guanine nucleotide releasing factor 1 Homo sapiens
4 7) Free GDP is derived exclusively by dissociation from prenylated Rac1-GDP, mediated by GEF. Guanosine Diphosphate Ras protein specific guanine nucleotide releasing factor 1 Homo sapiens
5 NDPK and GEF appear to be functionally linked in the sense that the availability of GDP, serving as substrate for NDPK, is dependent on the level of activity of GEF. Guanosine Diphosphate Ras protein specific guanine nucleotide releasing factor 1 Homo sapiens
6 NDPK and GEF appear to be functionally linked in the sense that the availability of GDP, serving as substrate for NDPK, is dependent on the level of activity of GEF. Guanosine Diphosphate Ras protein specific guanine nucleotide releasing factor 1 Homo sapiens
