Kinase-active SRC activates RAC1. 2 / 2
2 |

"We found that both Rac1 and ERK activation in HCs are downstream of active Src and protein kinase C (PKC). Treatment with specific small interfering RNA for various PKC isoforms, or with PKC isoform-specific inhibitors, demonstrated a central role for PKCepsilon in the constitutive activation of Rac1 and ERK in HCs."

"Here we show that Rac1 activity is strongly elevated in Src-transformed cells and that this small G protein is a critical component of the pathway connecting oncogenic Src with cell transformation."
