abstract：:We used Xenopus oocytes co-expressing thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) receptors and human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) K+ channel variants carrying different amino-terminal modifications to check the relevance of the proximal domain for hormonal regulation of the channel. Deletion of the whole proximal domain...

abstract：:The RhoGTPase Rac1 is activated in a polarised fashion and controls cell motility. We previously showed that Rac1 binds the PP2A inhibitor SET and recruits nuclear SET to the cytosol. We show that a SET mutant, lacking a nuclear localization signal, SET(ΔNLS), promotes cell spreading and motility. This was accompanied...
