“…In addition to being mutated in tumors, Ras and NF1 are able to interact and function in the same proliferative pathway, suggesting a possible cooperating e ect for the deregulation of these two proteins in tumorigenesis. Consistent with this hypothesis is the observation that NF1 is able to downregulate ras in vitro (Martin et al, 1990;Xu et al, 1990) and to inhibit ras-dependent proliferative and transforming e ects in tissue culture by mechanisms dependent (Basu et al, 1992;DeClue et al, 1992;Bollag et al, 1996;Largaespada et al, 1996) and independent Johnson et al, 1993) of the Ras GTPase accelerating activity of NF1.…”

“…In addition, overexpression of full-length neurofibromin results in severe growth inhibition without an e ect on Ras-GTP levels in NIH3T3 cells (Johnson et al, 1994). (2) Neuro®bromin (or NF1-GRD) is able to inhibit the transforming or proliferative e ect of the ras oncogene, despite its inability to stimulate the GTPase activity of oncogenic Ras (Bollag & McCormick, 1991;Xu et al, 1990;Martin et al, 1990). For instance, full length NF1 or NF1-GRD suppresses tumorigenicity of the HCT116 human colon carcinoma cell line in nude mice (Li and White, 1996).…”

“…These proteins can act as negative regulators of the protooncogene product Ras by facilitating the GTPase activity of Ras and thus increasing the proportion of the inactivated GDP-bound form of Ras in a cell (Bollag and McCormick, 1991). GAP-like enzymatic activity has been demonstrated for neurofibromin (Ballester et al, 1990;Martin et al, 1990;Xu et al, 1990a). Support for in vivo interaction between neurofibromin and Ras has come from recent studies showing that increased levels of Ras-GTP are correlated with decreases in neurofibromin in NF1 related Schwann cell tumors (Basu et al, 1992;DeClue et al, 1992).…”

“…A 360 amino acid region of neurofibromin shows significant homology to the catalytic domain of the mammalian p21 ras-specific 120-kDa GTPase-activating protein (p120 GAP), yeast equivalents IRAI and IRA2 proteins and recently identified mammalian p21 ras-specific GAPs (Ballester et al, 1990;Maekawa et al, 1994;Weisbach et al, 1994;Baba et al, 1995). This GAP-related domain (GRD) of neurofibromin, as well as the full-length neurofibromin, can negatively regulate p21 ras in vitro by stimulating its weak intrinsic GTPase activity (Xu et al, 1990;Golubic et al, 1992).…”
