Abnormally increased signaling by the GTPase RAP1 favors progression of diverse tumors. We have characterized the auto-regulation and activation of C3G (RAPGEF1), an activator of RAP1. This led us to discover mutations in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas that activate C3G-RAP1 constitutively, suggesting that deregulation of C3G may favor the dissemination of tumor cells.
