Target Information
Gene Function
Ras proteins bind GDP/GTP and possess intrinsic GTPase activity.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family.
Post-translational Modifications
Palmitoylated by the ZDHHC9-GOLGA7 complex. A continuous cycle of de- and re-palmitoylation regulates rapid exchange between plasma membrane and Golgi. S-nitrosylated; critical for redox regulation. Important for stimulating guanine nucleotide exchange. No structural perturbation on nitrosylation. The covalent modification of cysteine by 15-deoxy-Delta12,14-prostaglandin-J2 is autocatalytic and reversible. It may occur as an alternative to other cysteine modifications, such as S-nitrosylation and S-palmitoylation. Acetylation at Lys-104 prevents interaction with guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs).
