We have used the yeast two-hybrid system to identify proteins that interact with Vav, a GDP/GTP exchange factor for the Rac-1 GTPase that plays an important role in cell signaling and oncogenic transformation. This experimental approach resulted in the isolation of Cbl-b, a signal transduction molecule highly related to the mammalian c-cbl proto-oncogene product and to the C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
