The Ral guanine nucleotide exchange factors are direct targets of Ras, providing a mechanism for Ral activation by extracellular signals. In addition, Ral can be activated by a Ras-independent pathway. Ral guanine nucleotide exchange factors contribute to cellular transformation induced by oncogenic Ras through an Erk-independent mechanism which may involve activation of transcription.
Ral鸟嘌呤核苷酸交换因子是Ras的直接靶点,为细胞外信号激活Ral提供了一种机制。此外,Ral可通过一条不依赖Ras的途径被激活。Ral鸟嘌呤核苷酸交换因子通过一种不依赖Erk的机制(可能涉及转录激活)促进致癌Ras诱导的细胞转化。
