Calmodulin binds to K-Ras, but not to H- or N-Ras, and modulates its downstream signaling.
Activation of Ras induces a variety of cellular responses depending on the specific effector activated and the intensity and amplitude of this activation. We have previously shown that calmodulin is an essential molecule in the down-regulation of the Ras/Raf/MEK/extracellularly regulated kinase (ERK) pathway in cultured fibroblasts and that this is due at least in part to an inhibitory effect o...
متن کاملMutant K-Ras activation of the proapoptotic MST2 pathway is antagonized by wild-type K-Ras.
K-Ras mutations are frequent in colorectal cancer (CRC), albeit K-Ras is the only Ras isoform that can elicit apoptosis. Here, we show that mutant K-Ras directly binds to the tumor suppressor RASSF1A to activate the apoptotic MST2-LATS1 pathway. In this pathway LATS1 binds to and sequesters the ubiquitin ligase Mdm2 causing stabilization of the tumor suppressor p53 and apoptosis. However, mutan...
متن کاملElectrostatic interactions positively regulate K-Ras nanocluster formation and function.
The organization of Ras proteins into plasma membrane nanoclusters is essential for high-fidelity signal transmission, but whether the nanoscale environments of different Ras nanoclusters regulate effector interactions is unknown. We show using high-resolution spatial mapping that Raf-1 is recruited to and retained in K-Ras-GTP nanoclusters. In contrast, Raf-1 recruited to the plasma membrane b...
متن کاملActivity Coefficients of NaClO4 in (PEG 4000 + H2O) Mixtures at (288.15, 298.15 and 308.15) K
The cell potential of the cell containing two ion-selective electrodes (ISE), Na-ISE | NaClO4 (m), PEG 4000 (Y), H2O (100-Y) | ClO4-ISE has been measured at temperatures of (288.15, 298.15, and 308.15) K as a function of the weight percentage Y of PEG 4000 in a mixed solvent at a 1 Mpa and the standard state for measured activity coefficients will be ...
متن کاملPlant K+ channels: structure, activity and function.
Introduction In plants as in animals, K+ channel activity is the major determinant of cell membrane conductance [1,2]. Kt channels are therefore involved in central physiological processes such as setting the resting cell membrane potential, transducing signals and shaping action-potential waveforms. In addition, in plant cells, K t channel activity is thought to be involved in long-term fluxes...
