The exchange factor Ras-GRF2 activates Ras-dependent and Rac-dependent mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways
Ras and Rac are membrane-associated GTPases that function as molecular switches activating intracellular mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades and other effector pathways in response to extracellular signals [1]. Activation of Ras and Rac into their GTP-bound conformations is directly controlled by specific guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), which catalyze GDP release. Sever...
متن کاملDifferential involvement of Ras-GRF1 and Ras-GRF2 in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia
OBJECTIVE Recent findings have shown that pharmacogenetic manipulations of the Ras-ERK pathway provide a therapeutic means to tackle l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA)-induced dyskinesia (LID). First, we investigated whether a prolonged l-DOPA treatment differentially affected ERK signaling in medium spiny neurons of the direct pathway (dMSNs) and in cholinergic aspiny interneurons (ChIs) an...
متن کاملDistinct roles for Ras-guanine nucleotide-releasing factor 1 (Ras-GRF1) and Ras-GRF2 in the induction of long-term potentiation and long-term depression.
NMDA-type glutamate receptors (NMDARs) contribute to many forms of long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). NMDARs are heteromers containing calcium-permeating neuronal receptor 1 (NR1) subunits and a variety of NR2 subunits. Evidence suggests that, in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, NR2A-containing NMDARs promote LTP whereas NR2B-containing receptors promote LTD. However...
متن کاملThe Ras-GRF1 exchange factor coordinates activation of H-Ras and Rac1 to control neuronal morphology.
The Ras-GRF1 exchange factor has regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity for H-Ras and Rac1 through separate domains. Both H-Ras and Rac1 activation have been linked to synaptic plasticity and thus could contribute to the function of Ras-GRF1 in neuronal signal transduction pathways that underlie learning and memory. We defined the effects of Ras-GRF1 and truncation mutants ...
متن کاملSignal Transduction: RABGEF1 Fingers RAS for Ubiquitination
RAS proteins conduct signaling from surface receptors to cytoplasmic effectors, and RAS gain-of-function mutations are pervasive in cancer. A new mechanism for RAS signal attenuation with implications for receptor trafficking has been uncovered.
