PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a SH3 domain (signal transduction)
  • two conserved domains, called DOCK homology region (DHR)-1 and -2 , DHR1 is required for binding to phosphoinositides
  • and DHR2 (CZH-2) is necessary and sufficient for the GEF activity
    conjugated PhosphoP

    text
  • associating with cell membrane when farnesylated
  • colocalizing with CRK-II and ELMO1 in membrane ruffles
  • colocalized with DOCK1 at endosomes
  • basic FUNCTION
  • engulfment and removal of cells undergoing apoptosis
  • involved in cytoskeletal rearrangements required for phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and cell motility
  • implicated in cell migration, phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, T-cell activation and neurite outgrowth, and probably arose relatively early in eukaryotic evolution
  • functionning as a GRF, which activates Rac Rho small GTPases
  • essential role in mediating attractive resposnes by neurons to netrin 1
  • plays an essential role in a wide variety of biological functions including cell migration, phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, and myoblast fusion
  • regulates cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR) trafficking via SNX5 and this function is independent of its guanine nucleotide exchange factor activity toward RAC1
  • has an essential role in embryonic development
  • DOCK1 and DOCK5 are critical regulators of the fusion step during primary myogenesis
  • ELMO1 and DOCK1 function through the RAC1 GTPase in hippocampal neurons
  • DOCK1 and DOCK5 are not the important exchange factors regulating RAC1 activity during the establishment and maintenance of the glomerular barrier
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, cell death/apoptosis

    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    text cytoskeletal rearrangements during phagocytosis and cell motility, in the late steps of apoptotic process (complementation group 2 in C elegans)
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • RHOG-ELMO-DOCK1 pathway is required for activation of RAC1 and cell spreading mediated by integrin, as well as for neurite outgrowth induced by nerve growth factor
  • forms a trimeric complex with ELMO1 and BAI1
  • ELMO1/DOCK1 complex functions through Rac1 in various cellular contexts including migration and phagocytosis
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to CRK and ELMO1
  • activating RAC1
  • DOCK1-ELMO1 interaction is necessary to modulate actin cytoskeleton for phagocytosis and cell migration
  • GRASP and IPCEF1 promote ARF-to-RAC1 signaling and cell migration by coordinating the association of CYTH2 with DOCK1
  • ELMO1 is necessary for functions of DOCK1, functioning in a complex with DOCK1 in spine morphogenesis through activating the RAC1 GTPase
  • DOCK1 is required for signaling by ELMO1-MACF1
  • GRASP binds directly both CYTH2 and DOCK1 to coordinate their activities, and by doing so promotes crosstalk between ARF and RAC1
  • unlike DOCK5, DOCK1 bound to phosphatidic acid (PA) through the C-terminal polybasic amino acid cluster and was localized to dorsal ruffles

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • T-lymphoid progenitor cells in fetal mice express two closely related CDM family molecules, Dock2 and Dock1, and the impaired fetal thymus colonization in mice deficient for Dock2 and Dock1 was not as severe as that in mice doubly deficient for Ccr7 and Ccr9
