Interaction in vitro; bait produced as a recombinant fusion protein in bacterial system; prey derived from transfected COS-7 cell extract.

Pak interacts specifically with GTP-bound Rac1, but not the GDP-bound form.

Pak interacts with Rac1 and Rac2, but not mtl.

GST-tagged Rac was preloaded with GDP or non-hydrolysable GTPγS.

Comments concerning this interaction

Cells were treated with the robo ligand sli for 10 minutes before the pull down assay.

Interaction in vitro; bait produced as a recombinant fusion protein in bacterial system; prey derived from transfected HEK293T cell extract.

The Pak-Rac1 interaction is greatly increased when cells express a functional robo receptor and are treated with the robo ligand sli.
