“…Different domain arrangements in GAPs to create differential protein-protein and proteinlipid interactions are probably key factors determining the GTP/GDP ratio bound to H−, K−, and N-Ras. 14,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30] Cell-and animal-based studies examining GAP activity, interaction partners, and expression profiles have provided further insights into Ras inactivation in normal and transformed cells. Mammalian proteins capable of functioning as GAPs for H-, K-, and N-Ras represent a large and divergent protein family and include p120GAP, neurofibromin (NF1), the GAP1 family, including GAP1 IP4BP , Ca 2+ -promoted Ras inactivator (CAPRI), Ras GTPase activating-like protein RASAL, as well as the SynGAP family (DAB2IP, nGAP, SynGAP).…”
