Vav1 protein is a cytoplasmic guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Rho-family GTPases. CD28 co-stimulation resulted in a prolonged and sustained phosphorylation and membrane localization of Vav1 in comparison to T-cell receptor activation alone. Vav1 contains a unique arrangement of signaling motifs a calponin homology domain, an acidic domain, a DBL homology (DH) domain, a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, a cysteine-rich domain (CR), and a SH2 domain flanked by two proline-binding SH3 domains. Vav-1 may be recruited to the membrane through its PH domain by binding PI(3,4,5)P3 produced by CD28-bound PI3K and also by binding to CD28:Grb2 complexes by the dimerized SH3 domains in both the molecules.
