ACK2 (activated Cdc42-associated tyrosine kinase 2) is a specific downstream effector for Cdc42, a member of the Rho family of small G-proteins. ACK2 interacts with clathrin, an endocytic vesicle coating protein, and SH3PX1, a sorting nexin, and is involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. While searching for proteins that interact with ACK2, we found that HSP90 (heat-shock protein 90) binds to ACK2. Analysis of a series of truncation mutants of ACK2 has defined the regions within the kinase do ...[more]
