Figure 4From: Transformation by a nucleotide-activated P2Y receptor is mediated by activation of Gαi, Gαq and Rho-dependent signaling pathways 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.Back to article page
