Ras and Rho GTPases A Family Reunion
Rap1, is required to define the position of the new bud. 1997). In vitro, this interaction is not sufficient to stimulate the GEF activity of Cdc24p, and one functional out-and Molecular Biology University College London come of this interaction in vivo, therefore, is likely to be the localization of Cdc24p to the presumptive bud site London WC1E 6BT United Kingdom (Zheng et al., 1995). In S. p...
متن کاملDual function of Ras in Raf activation.
The small guanine nucleotide binding protein p21(Ras) plays an important role in the activation of the Raf kinase. However, the precise mechanism by which Raf is activated remains unclear. It has been proposed that the sole function of p21(Ras )in Raf activation is to recruit Raf to the plasma membrane. We have used Drosophila embryos to examine the mechanism of Raf (Draf) activation in the com...
متن کاملRho family GTPases.
Rho GTPases comprise a family of molecular switches that control signal transduction pathways in eukaryotic cells. A conformational change induced upon binding GTP promotes an interaction with target (effector) proteins to generate a cellular response. A highly conserved function of Rho GTPases from yeast to humans is to control the actin cytoskeleton, although, in addition, they promote a wide...

متن کاملRho GTPases in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake
Insulin is secreted into blood vessels from β cells of pancreatic islets in response to high blood glucose levels. Insulin stimulates an array of physiological responses in target tissues, including liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue, thereby reducing the blood glucose level. Insulin-dependent glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue is primarily mediated by the redistributi...
