Interleukin-9-induced expression of M-Ras/R-Ras3 oncogene in T-helper clones.
In an attempt to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in interleukin-9 (IL-9) activities, representational difference analysis (RDA) was used to identify messages that are induced by IL-9 in a murine T-helper-cell clone. One of the isolated genes encodes for the newly described M-Ras or R-Ras3, which is part of the Ras gene superfamily. M-Ras expression was found to be induced by...
متن کاملAberrant function of the Ras-related protein TC21/R-Ras2 triggers malignant transformation.
Although the human Ras proteins are members of a large superfamily of Ras-related proteins, to date, only the proteins encoded by the three mammalian ras genes have been found to possess oncogenic potential. Among the known Ras-related proteins, TC21/R-Ras2 exhibits the most significant amino acid identity (55%) to Ras proteins. We have generated mutant forms of TC21 that possess amino acid sub...
متن کاملSIRT6 regulates Ras-related protein R-Ras2 by lysine defatty-acylation
The Ras family of GTPases are important in cell signaling and frequently mutated in human tumors. Understanding their regulation is thus important for studying biology and human diseases. Here, we report that a novel posttranslational mechanism, reversible lysine fatty acylation, regulates R-Ras2, a member of the Ras family. SIRT6, a sirtuin with established tumor suppressor function, regulates...
متن کاملThe Ras-like protein R-Ras2/TC21 is important for proper mammary gland development
R-Ras2/TC21 is a GTPase with high sequence and signaling similarity with Ras subfamily members. Although it has been extensively studied using overexpression studies in cell lines, its physiological role remains poorly characterized. Here we used RRas2-knockout mice expressing β-galactosidase under the regulation of the endogenous RRas2 promoter to investigate the function of this GTPase in viv...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of RAS1 and RAS2 proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
RAS1 and RAS2 proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are guanine nucleotide-binding proteins involved in the regulation of adenylate cyclase. In this paper, we report that these proteins are phosphorylated. The phosphorylation of RAS1 protein is demonstrated by treating with alkaline phosphatase as well as by labeling with [32P]orthophosphate. The phosphorylation occurs exclusively on serine resi...
