T-lymphoma invasion and metastasis-inducing protein 1 (TIAM1) is a Rac1-specific GEF, highly expressed in the nervous system, which is necessary for proper spinal and synapse development. It is one of the critical mediators of NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-dependent spine development (Tolias et al. 2005). TIAM1 might also play a role in regulating EPHB-dependent spine morphogenesis. TIAM1 appears to be required for ephrinB (EFNB)-induced increase in spine density. TIAM1 is recruited to EPHB complexes containing NMDAR after EPHB receptor activation in neurons. The PH-CC-Ex (consisting of a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain followed by a coiled-coiled (CC) domain and an adjacent region (Ex) domain) of TIAM1 is required for binding to EPHB2 (Tolias et al. 2007).
