Tiam1/Rac1 complex controls Il17a transcription and autoimmunity
Tiam1 is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the Rho-family GTPase Rac1. Here, the authors show that nuclear Tiam1 and Rac1 bind to RORγt on the IL-17 promoter, activating its transcription, and that inhibiting Tiam1/Rac1 is beneficial in a mouse model of autoimmunity.
