Expression of tP2YR results in lamellipodia formation and activation of both Rac1 and RhoA. NIH3T3 cells were transiently transfected with either empty pcDNA3 expression vector or those encoding tP2YR, Tiam1-C1199 (A, potent activator of Rac1) or Ect2-DH/PH/C (B, potent activator of RhoA). Activated GTP-bound Rac1 and RhoA were isolated in pull-down assays with GST-Pak-PBD and GST-Rhotekin-RBD, respectively.
