Escorting Ras
Ras proteins are best known to function on the plasma membrane to mediate growth factor signaling. Controlling the length of time that Ras proteins stay on the plasma membrane is an effective way to properly modulate the intensity and duration of growth factor signaling. It has been shown previously that H- and N-Ras proteins in the GTP-bound state can be ubiquitylated via a K-63 linkage, which...
متن کاملEscorting STAT5A
ome transcription factors take a chaperone to the nuclear dance. On page 469, Williams et al. show that STAT5A gets this escort from the ERBB4 receptor tyrosine kinase. ERBB4 becomes an escort upon activation by growth factors such as heregulin (HRG). The activated receptor is known to recruit and phos-phorylate STAT5A and get cleaved, thus releasing ERBB4's intracellular domain (4ICD). William...
متن کاملAmphiphilic p-Sulfonatocalix[4]arene as “Drug Chaperone” for Escorting Anticancer Drugs
Supramolecularly constructing multifunctional platform for drug delivery is a challenging task. In this work, we propose a novel supramolecular strategy "drug chaperone", in which macrocyclic amphiphiles directly coassemble with cationic drugs into a multifunctional platform and its surface is further decorated with targeting ligands through host-guest recognition. The coassembling and hierarch...
متن کاملKeap1 controls postinduction repression of the Nrf2-mediated antioxidant response by escorting nuclear export of Nrf2.
The transcription factor Nrf2 regulates cellular redox homeostasis. Under basal conditions, Keap1 recruits Nrf2 into the Cul3-containing E3 ubiquitin ligase complex for ubiquitin conjugation and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Oxidative stress triggers activation of Nrf2 through inhibition of E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, resulting in increased levels of Nrf2 and transcriptional activation ...
متن کاملRas-GRF activates Ha-Ras, but not N-Ras or K-Ras 4B, protein in vivo.
Human cells contain four homologous Ras proteins, but it is unknown whether these homologues have different biological functions. As a first step in determining if Ras homologues might participate in distinct signaling cascades, we assessed whether a given Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor could selectively activate a single Ras homologue in vivo. We found that Ras-GRF/Cdc25Mm activates Ha...
