High throughput platform to engineer light-controlled inhibitors against guanine exchange factors of the Dbl family

ABSTRACT Signaling networks that control cellular behavior are highly dynamic and precisely coordinated in space and time. Rho family GTPases regulate diverse biological processes such as cell migration, proliferation and immune activation. The activity of these molecules is tightly controlled at the subcellular level and is observed with precise timing only in discrete regions of the cell. The Dbl family of guanine exchange factors (GEFs) are the main activators of RhoA GTPases. There are typically multiple GEFs present in a cell that can act on the same GTPase, and certain GEFs can interact with different GTPases. Recently, it has been shown that the activity of Dbl GEFs is also…
