Résumé
The Dedicator Of CytoKinesis (DOCK) family of atypical guanine nucleotide exchange factors activates the Rho family GTPases Rac and/or Cdc42 through DOCK homology region 2 (DHR-2). Previous structural analyses of the DHR-2 domains of DOCK2 and DOCK9 have shown that they preferentially bind Rac1 and Cdc42, respectively; however, the molecular mechanism by which DHR-2 distinguishes between these GTPases is unclear. Here we report the crystal structure of the Cdc42-bound form of the DOCK7 DHR-2 domain showing dual specificity for Rac1 and Cdc42. The structure revealed increased substrate tolerance of DOCK7 at the interfaces with switch 1 and residue 56 of Cdc42. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations showed a closed-to-open conformational change in the DOCK7 DHR-2 domain between the Cdc42- and Rac1-bound states by lobe B displacement. Our results suggest that lobe B acts as a sensor for identifying different switch 1 conformations and explain how DOCK7 recognizes both Rac1 and Cdc42.
