Cell Biol. 160:2003;89-99 HEK cells expressing various combinations of the regulatory (p101) and catalytic (p110γ) subunits of PI3Kγ provide evidence that Gβγ subunits activate PI3Kγ by two mechanisms: via membrane recruitment mediated by p101 and by direct stimulation of p110γ. The requirement for p101 may not be essential for PI3Kγ function as monomeric p110γ could also be active in vivo.

Cell Biol. 160:2003;375-385 By expressing constitutively active and dominant-negative versions of Rac and Cdc42 in a neutrophil cell line, the authors propose that Rac represents a key regulator in the formation of the leading edge. Conversely, Cdc42 would be involved in locally directing and stabilizing the leading edge.

They show that Rac-GTP or the adaptor Nck can activate WAVE1 activity. Interestingly, they find that while recombinant WAVE1 is active, the WAVE1 complex is inactive. They propose that Rac-GTP or Nck activates WAVE1 by complex dissociation.

The authors find that the adenylyl cyclase ACA is highly enriched at the back of cells undergoing chemotaxis and propose that this provides a compartment from which the chemoattractant cAMP is secreted to locally attract surrounding cells.
