17. For RAC mutant library construction and screening, full-length human RAC1 encoding a protein containing the activating G12V mutation (vaiine is substituted for glycine at position 12) was randomly mutagenized with PCR (20) and ligated in the vector pLexVJII (8) to create in-frame fusions with the LBD. Screening for mutations that affected binding of the LBD-RAC fusions to murine PAK3 or POR1 fused to the GAL4 activation domain vector pGAD1318 (8) was performed in the yeast strain L40 (8). Transformants from each screen, selected on synthetic media lacking leucine and tryptophan, were assayed for p-galactosidase activity on filters (21).

For monitoring membrane ruffles and subcellular localization, cells on cover slips were fixed in 3.7% formaldehyde in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 1 hour at room temperature and then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 3 min at room temperature. The cover slips were incubated for 1 hour at 37°C with mouse antibody to T7 epitope (Novogen) in PBS containing albumin (2 mg/mi) and then with a mixture of fluorescein-conjugated goat antibody to mouse immunoglobulin G and rhodamine-labeled phalloidin (0.01 mg/ml) (Molecular Probes). The cells were photographed with a Zeiss Axiophot fluorescence microscope.
