IQGAP1, for IQ motif containing GTPase activating protein, is a Ras GAP-related, Actin-binding protein that interacts with the small GTPases Cdc42 and Rac1.
The C-terminus of IQGAP1 is essential for interacting with Cdc42 and, in addition, IQGAP1 contains a WW domain and a predicted N-terminal coiled-coil region, which may be involved in IQGAP dimerization.
Expression of IQGAP1 is highest in placenta, lung and kidney, where it colocalizes with Cdc42 to the cytoskeleton and assists with Cdc42 in mediating the regulation of cell proliferation, polarity and cell morphology.
IQGAP1 regulates cadherin-mediated cell adhesion via binding to E-cadherin, b-catenin and a-catenin.
This association induces the accumulation of these proteins at the site of cell-cell contact.
IQGAP1 is negatively regulated by calmodulin, which binds to IQGAP1 in a calcium-dependent manner and disrupts IQGAP1 from associating with Cdc42.
