"The CNF1 toxin of pathogenic Escherichia coli addresses Rac1 to ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). We report the essential role of the tumor suppressor HACE1, a HECT-domain containing E3 ubiquitin-ligase, in the targeting of Rac1 to UPS. HACE1 binds preferentially GTP-bound Rac1 and catalyzes its polyubiquitylation"
reach
"We and others have shown that HACE1 ubiquitinates Rac1 once it is activated, either by using point mutants (Q61L, Q61E, and G12V), by over-expressing the GEF domain of Dbl, or in response to growth factors such as Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Heregulin (HRG) XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR."
