Abstract
Phospholipase C (PLC) epsilon is directly regulated by Ras and Rap1 small GTPases: Ras and Rap1, in their GTP-bound form, interact with the Ras/Rap1-associationg (RA) domain of PLCepsilon, thereby translocating PLCepsilon to the plasma membrane and the Golgi apparatus, respectively. In the plasma membrane and the Golgi apparatus, PLCepsilon acts as a phosphoinositide-specific PLC, regulating various downstream signaling pathways. PLCepsilon also contains a CDC25 homology domain, which enhances guanine nucleotide exchange on Rap1. Here, we describe biochemical characterization of the CDC25 homology domain of PLCepsilon and provide insights into its physiological role in the regulation of PLCepsilon activity.Entities:
