Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

PREX1 encodes P-Rex1, a multidomain Rac guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that functions as a coincidence detector for PIP3 and Gβγ signaling, integrating PI3K and GPCR inputs to activate Rac GTPases and drive neutrophil chemotaxis, ROS production, cell migration, and metastasis (PMID:11955434, PMID:16243035, PMID:22109529). Structural studies reveal that P-Rex1 is held in an autoinhibited conformation wherein the PH domain occludes the DH catalytic site, stabilized by DEP1–DH and PH–4HB interactions; PIP3 binding to the PH domain and Gβγ engagement of a composite DEP–PDZ–IP4P surface relieve this autoinhibition, while PKA phosphorylation of Ser436 in DEP1 impairs membrane association and PP1α-mediated dephosphorylation of Ser1165 activates GEF output (PMID:39082940, PMID:31663027, PMID:26797121, PMID:22242915). Beyond its catalytic role activating Rac1, Rac2, and RhoG in neutrophils, neurons, endothelial cells, adipocytes, and cancer cells (PMID:24659802, PMID:26621702, PMID:22002247), P-Rex1 performs GEF-independent adaptor functions: it directly binds GRK2 to limit GPCR internalization, controls hepatocyte Gpr21 trafficking and glucose metabolism, and mediates Fc receptor–dependent phagocytosis independently of its catalytic activity (PMID:41100251, PMID:41046518, PMID:41098722).
