Descriptions

RAS guanyl-releasing protein 1 (RasGRP1) is a nucleotide exchange factor that controls the development of immune cells, and leukemia and lupus can result if RasGRP1 is not regulated correctly. Inactive RasGRP1 is stabilized by the C1-dimer interface, which sequesters the membrane-interacting surface of the C1 domain, and the active-site blocking RasGEF catalytic domain (Cdc25)-EF domain linker. The C-terminal coiled-coil stabilizes the dimer, thereby preventing inappropriate Ras activation. The autoinhibited form is activated by multiple signaling inputs that enhance nucleotide exchange activity. Diacylglycerol binding disrupts C1 dimerization, while Ca2+ binding to EF1 causes a conformational change that contributes to C1 reorientation, and the release of the inhibitory segment from the Ras-binding surface. Phosphorylation of the Cdc25 domain could aid in removal of the inhibitory linker.

4 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
endoplasmic reticulum membrane The lipid bilayer surrounding the endoplasmic reticulum.
Golgi membrane The lipid bilayer surrounding any of the compartments of the Golgi apparatus.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.

2 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
calcium ion binding Binding to a calcium ion (Ca2+).
guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity Stimulates the exchange of GDP to GTP on a signaling GTPase, changing its conformation to its active form. Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) act by stimulating the release of guanosine diphosphate (GDP) to allow binding of guanosine triphosphate (GTP), which is more abundant in the cell under normal cellular physiological conditions.

2 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
cell differentiation The cellular developmental process in which a relatively unspecialized cell, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cell, acquires specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize a specific cell. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state.
Ras protein signal transduction The series of molecular signals within the cell that are mediated by a member of the Ras superfamily of proteins switching to a GTP-bound active state.
