    Background

    Epithelial cell transforming sequence 2 (ECT2), a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), catalyzes the exchange of GDP for GTP. The nuclear GEF activity of ECT2 is essential for Kras-Trp53 lung tumorigenesis. This transformation requires ECT2-mediated rRNA synthesis. In addition, PKCι-dependent phosphorylation of ECT2 is necessary for the oncogenic activity of this protein (1,2). Furthermore, ECT2 has been implicated as a cancer driver gene in certain subtypes of liver cancers (3). Research studies also show that, during matrix-directed cell migration, low membrane tension stimulates the formation of caveolae at the rear end of moving cells. ECT2 is recruited to the caveolae and activates RhoA, causing F-actin organization and rear retraction (4).
