摘要: The small guanine nucleotide binding protein Ras participates in a growth promoting signal transduction pathway. mechanism by which interaction of with the kinase Raf leads to activation was studied. targeted plasma membrane addition COOH-terminal localization signals K-ras. This modified form (RafCAAX) activated same extent as coexpressed oncogenic mutant Ras. Plasma rather than farnesylation or presence additional sequence accounted for RafCAAX. RafCAAX completely independent Ras; it neither potentiated nor abrogated dominant negative Raf, once recruited membrane, not anchored there most cells associated cytoskeletal elements, lipid bilayer. Thus, functions recruiting where separate, Ras-independent, occurs.
