Cdc42 regulates Cdc42EP3 function in cancer-associated ???broblasts
Cdc42-binding defective mutant of Cdc42EP3 (Cdc42EP3-IS)
could not interact with actin. Inhibiting Cdc42 function by transient expression of the dominant negative Cdc42-N17
protein resulted in a loss of ???lamentous Cdc42EP3 structures and reduced F-actin stress ???bers and ???lamentous
SEPT2

Cdc42EP3/BORG2 is required for the matrix remodeling, invasion, angiogenesis, and tumor-growth-promoting abilities of CAFs. Cdc42EP3 functions by coordinating the actin and septin networks. Furthermore, depletion of SEPT2 has similar effects to those of loss of Cdc42EP3, indicating a role for the septin network in the tumor stroma.
