Regional chromosomal localization of N-ras, K-ras-1, K-ras-2 and myb oncogenes in human cells.
The identification of transforming genes in human tumor cells has been made possible by DNA mediated gene transfer techniques. To date, it has been possible to show that most of these transforming genes are activated cellular analogues of the ras oncogene family. To better understand the relationship between these oncogenes and other human genes, we have determined their chromosomal localizatio...
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...
متن کاملOncogenic Phenotypes in K-Ras Transformed Cells
Genetic mutations in K-Ras, an oncogene belonging to the Ras protein superfamily, are present in number of cancers, including over 90% of pancreatic and 50% of colorectal cancers. The mutated or oncogenic form of the K-Ras GTPase is perpetually locked in the GTP-bound active conformation, thereby inducing extreme and rapid cell proliferation as well as decreasing cell sensitivity to suspension-...
متن کاملGalectin-3 regulates a molecular switch from N-Ras to K-Ras usage in human breast carcinoma cells.
Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a pleiotropic carbohydrate-binding protein, is a selective binding partner of activated K-Ras-GTP. Because both proteins are antiapoptotic and associated with cancer progression, we questioned the possible functional role of Gal-3 in K-Ras activation. We found that overexpression of Gal-3 in human breast cancer cells (BT-549/Gal-3) coincided with a significant increase in wi...
متن کاملK-Ras and H-Ras Activation Promote Distinct Consequences
A considerable amount of evidence indicates that Ras signaling contributes to the development of endometrial cancer. We previously demonstrated that endometrial cancer cells carrying oncogenic [Val]K-ras were susceptible to apoptosis. The present study examined the role of K-and H-Ras in the induction of apoptosis using rat endometrial cells (RENT4 cells). We found that constitutively activated...
