1. Mutação em NRAS causa uma síndrome autoimune linfoproliferativa humana / NRAS mutation causes a human autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome
The p21 RAS subfamily of small GTPases, including KRAS, HRAS, and NRAS, regulates cell proliferation, cytoskeletal organization and other signaling networks, and is the most frequent target of activating mutations in cancer. Activating germline mutations of KRAS and HRAS cause severe developmental abnormalities leading to Noonan, cardio-facial-cutaneous and

2. As células linhagem negativa (Lin) de medula óssea atenuam a progressão da doença renal crônica / Lineage negative bone marrow cells attenuate the progression of chronic renal failure
Progressive renal failure continues to be a challenge. The use of bone marrowderived stem cells (SCs) represents a means of meeting that challenge. We used lineage-negative (Lin-) SCs to test the hypothesis that Lin- cell infusion decreases renal injury. Syngeneic Fischer 344 rats were submitted to 5/6 nephrectomy and divided into 3 groups: Nx (untreated); N

3. Metabolic turnover of human c-rasH p21 protein of EJ bladder carcinoma and its normal cellular and viral homologs.
The EJ bladder carcinoma oncogene is activated by a point mutation in the c-rasH proto-oncogene at the 12th amino acid codon. In an attempt to understand the mechanism of oncogenic activation, a comparative study was undertaken to examine the metabolic turnover and subcellular localization of the p21 protein encoded by the EJ oncogene, the viral oncogene, an

4. Human colon carcinoma Ki-ras2 oncogene and its corresponding proto-oncogene.
We isolated cDNA clones corresponding to the normal human Ki-ras2 gene and to the transforming allele of the Ki-ras2 gene present in the human colon carcinoma cell line SW480. These two cDNAs encode p21 proteins which differ only at the amino acid at position 12. The normal cDNA encodes a glycine at this position, and the transforming allele encodes a valine

5. A ras effector domain mutant which is temperature sensitive for cellular transformation: interactions with GTPase-activating protein and NF-1.
A series of v-rasH effector domain mutants were analyzed for their ability to transform rat 2 cells at either low or high temperatures. Three mutants were found to be significantly temperature sensitive: Ile-36 changed to Leu, Ser-39 changed to Cys (S39C), and Arg-41 changed to Leu. Of these, the codon 39 mutant (S39C) showed the greatest degree of temperatu

6. Heterologous expression and characterization of the human R-ras gene product.
We directly expressed human R-ras 23,000-dalton protein (p23) cDNA in Escherichia coli under the control of the trp promoter. GTP-dependent phosphorylation of a p23 threonine 85 substitution mutant was observed. This result is in direct analogy to the autokinase activity of H-ras and K-ras threonine 59 substitution mutants. Normal p23 protein was detected in

7. Critical tyrosine residues regulate the enzymatic and biological activity of Raf-1 kinase.
The serine/threonine kinase activity of the Raf-1 proto-oncogene product is stimulated by the activation of many tyrosine kinases, including growth factor receptors and pp60v-src. Recent studies of growth factor signal transduction pathways demonstrate that Raf-1 functions downstream of activated tyrosine kinases and p21ras and upstream of mitogen-activated

8. Requirement of protein kinase C zeta for stimulation of protein synthesis by insulin.
The ability of insulin to stimulate protein synthesis and cellular growth is mediated through the insulin receptor (IR), which phosphorylates Tyr residues in the insulin receptor substrate-signaling proteins (IRS-1 and IRS-2), Gab-1, and Shc. These phosphorylated substrates directly bind and activate enzymes such as phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K) and
