Dominant-active Cdc42 and Rac enhance antigen-stimulated secretion by about twofold, whereas the dominant-negative mutants significantly inhibit secretion. Interestingly, treatment with the calcium ionophore, A23187, and the PKC activator, PMA, rescues the inhibited levels of secretion in cells expressing the dominant-negative mutants, implying that Cdc42 and Rac act upstream of the calcium influx pathway. Furthermore, cells expressing the dominant-active mutants exhibit elevated levels of antigen-stimulated IP3 production, an amplified antigen-stimulated calcium response consisting of both calcium release from internal stores and influx from the extracellular medium, and an increase in aggregate formation of the IP3 receptor. In contrast, cells expressing the dominant-negative mutants display the opposite phenotypes. Finally, we are able to detect an in vitro interaction between Cdc42 and PLC\u03b31, the enzyme immediately upstream of IP3 formation. Taken together, these findings implicate Cdc42 and Rac in regulating the exocytosis of secretory granules by stimulation of IP3 formation and calcium mobilization upon antigen stimulation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1083\/jcb.148.3.481","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,26]],"date-time":"2002-07-26T16:46:23Z","timestamp":1027701983000},"page":"481-494","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1083\/jcb.crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":128,"title":["Cdc42 and Rac Stimulate Exocytosis of Secretory Granules by Activating the Ip3\/Calcium Pathway in Rbl-2h3 Mast Cells"],"prefix":"10.1083","volume":"148","author":[{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Hong-Geller","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"aDepartment of Molecular Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard A.","family":"Cerione","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"aDepartment of Molecular Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"291","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023072902065848000_Aridoretal1993","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1569","DOI":"10.1126\/science.7504324","article-title":"Activation of exocytosis by the heterotrimeric G protein Gi3","volume":"262","author":"Aridor","year":"1993","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"2023072902065848000_Baeetal1998","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4465","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.273.8.4465","article-title":"Activation of phospholipase C-\u03b3 by phosphoinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate","volume":"273","author":"Bae","year":"1998","journal-title":"J.
