pubmed:abstractText
Tiam1 is a ubiquitous guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that activates the Rac GTPase. We have shown previously that the N terminus of Tiam1 contributes to the signaling specificity of its downstream target Rac via association with IB2, a scaffold that promotes Rac activation of a p38 kinase cascade. Here we show that the N terminus of Tiam1 can influence Rac signaling specificity in a different way by interaction with spinophilin, a scaffold that binds to p70 S6 kinase, another protein regulated by Rac. In particular, spinophilin binding promotes the plasma membrane localization of Tiam1 and enhances the ability of Tiam1 to activate p70 S6 kinase. In contrast, spinophilin binding suppresses the ability of Tiam to activate Pak1, a different Rac effector. Finally, a mutant spinophilin that cannot bind to Tiam1 suppresses serum-induced p70 S6 kinase activation in cells, suggesting that a Tiam1/spinophilin complex contributes to p70 S6 kinase regulation by extracellular signals. These findings add to a growing body of evidence supporting the concept that some Rac-GEFs not only activate Rac GTPases but also participate in the selection of Rac effector by binding to particular scaffolds that complex with components of specific Rac effector pathways.
