Cdc25Mm is a mammalian Ras-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF). By homology modeling we show that it shares with Sos-GEF the structure of the putative catalytic HI hairpin where the dominant negative T1184E mutation is located. Similarly to Cdc25MmT1184E, the isolated wild-type and mutant hairpins retain the ability to displace Ras-bound nucleotide, originate a stable Ras/GEF complex and downregulate the Ras pathway in vivo. These results indicate that nucleotide re-entry and Ras/GEF dissociation--final steps in the GEF catalytic cycle--require GEF regions different from the HI hairpin. GEF down-sizing could lead to development of novel Ras inhibitors.

D011905 Genes, ras Family of retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (ras) originally isolated from Harvey (H-ras, Ha-ras, rasH) and Kirsten (K-ras, Ki-ras, rasK) murine sarcoma viruses. Ras genes are widely conserved among animal species and sequences corresponding to both H-ras and K-ras genes have been detected in human, avian, murine, and non-vertebrate genomes. The closely related N-ras gene has been detected in human neuroblastoma and sarcoma cell lines. All genes of the family have a similar exon-intron structure and each encodes a p21 protein.
