    J Biol Chem 278:32493-6. 2003
    ..The ability of Rheb to induce S6 phosphorylation was also inhibited by a farnesyl transferase inhibitor, suggesting that Rheb may be responsible for the Ras-independent anti-neoplastic properties of this drug...
  2. ncbi The RAP1 guanine nucleotide exchange factor Epac2 couples cyclic AMP and Ras signals at the plasma membrane
    Yu Li
    Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Indiana University School of Medicine, and Walther Cancer Institute, Indianapolis, Indiana 46202, USA
    J Biol Chem 281:2506-14. 2006
    ..Therefore, despite its previous description as a Ras antagonist or independently functioning GTPase, Rap1/Krev-1 may additionally act downstream of Ras in cells that express the cyclic AMP-regulated GEF, Epac2...
  3. ncbi Measuring Ras-family GTP levels in vivo--running hot and cold
    Ariel F Castro
    Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Indiana University School of Medicine and Walther Cancer Institute, Indianapolis, IN 46202, USA
    Methods 37:190-6. 2005
    ..Here we describe the detection of M-Ras and Rap1 activity by GST-RBD pull-down as well as that of Rheb and epitope-tagged R-Ras by classical metabolic labeling and immunoprecipitation...
  4. ncbi AND-34 activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and induces anti-estrogen resistance in a SH2 and GDP exchange factor-like domain-dependent manner
    Kyriacos N Felekkis
    Department of Medicine, Section of Hematology and Oncology, Boston Medical Center, Boston, MA 02118, USA
    Mol Cancer Res 3:32-41. 2005
    ..Our studies suggest that AND-34-mediated PI3K activation induces Rac activation and anti-estrogen resistance in human breast cancer cell lines...

    Biochem Biophys Res Commun 296:388-94. 2002
    ..These results show efficient GTP hydrolysis by the NBD1s of Pgp and MRP1, and a minor role of phosphorylation in the control of Pgp NBD1 ATPase activity...
