Rac1 small GTPase plays pivotal roles in various cell functions such as cell morphology, cell polarity, and cell proliferation, We have previously identified IQGAP1 from bovine brain cytosol as a target for Rad by an affinity purification method, By using the same method, we purified a specifically Rac1-associated protein with a molecular mass of about 140 kDa (p140) from bovine brain cytosol, This protein interacted with guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S).glutathione S-transferase (GST)-Rac1 but not with the GDP.GST-Rac1, GTP gamma S.GST-Cdc42, or GTP gamma S.GST-RhoA. The amino acid sequences of this protein revealed that p140 is identified as a product of KIAA0068 gene, We denoted this protein as Sra-1 (Specifically Rad-associated protein), Recombinant Sra-1 interacted with GTP gamma S.GST-Rac1 and weakly with GDP.Rac1 but not with GST-Cdc42 or GST-RhoA, The N-terminal domain of Sra-1 (1-407 amino acids) was responsible for the interaction with Rad. Myc-tagged Sra-1 and the deletion mutant capable of interacting with Rad, but not the mutants unable to bind Rad, were colocalized with dominant active Rac1(Val-12) and cortical actin filament at the Rac1(Val-12)-induced membrane ruffling area in KB cells, Sra-1 was cosedimented with filamentous actin (F-actin), indicating that Sra-1 directly interacts with F-actin, These results suggest that Sra-1 is a novel and specific target for Rac1.
