Switch #: SWTI000266

Switch type: Binary

Switch subtype: Allostery

Description:
Binding of Cell division control protein 42 homolog (CDC42) to Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WAS) allosterically relieves an auto-inhibitory intramolecular interaction in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WAS), which becomes active.
