DHR-2, Lobe C
PF20421
Definition
DOCK (dedicator of cytokinesis) proteins are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) that activate some small GTPases, such as Rac or Cdc42, by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP to control cell migration, morphogenesis, and phagocytosis. These proteins share a DOCK-type C2 domain (also termed the DOCK-homology region (DHR)-1) at the N-terminal, and the DHR-2 domain (also termed the DOCKER domain) at the C-terminal. DHR-2 is the GEF catalytic domain organised into three lobes A, B and C, with the Rho-family binding site and catalytic centre generated entirely from lobes B and C. This entry represents Lobe C which form an antiparallel four alpha-helical bundle [[cite:PMID:32651375],[cite:PMID:30853411]] and contains a loop known as the nucleotide sensor characterised by a conserved valine residue essential for catalytic activity PMID:30853411.
