Abstract:
:Recent studies have revealed that Ras can associate physically with Raf. In the present study, we tested 34 mutants of Ha-Ras carrying substitution(s) in the region of residues 23-71 for their ability to associate with Raf-1. Mouse Ba/F3 cell lysates were incubated with each mutant Ras protein, in either the guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP gamma S)- or the guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP beta S)-bound form, and the anti-Ras antibody Y13-238. The immunoprecipitates were analysed for the presence of Raf-1 by Western blotting with an anti-Raf-1 antibody. Six mutants of Ras, E31K, P34G, T35S, D38N, D57A and A59T, failed to bind Raf-1. Mutations N26G, V29A, S39A, Y40W, R41A, V44A, V45E, L56A and T58A partially reduced the ability to bind Raf-1. All the other mutants could associate with Raf-1 with nearly the same efficiency as that of wild-type Ras. Thus, the Raf-I-binding ability of Ras appears to be affected by mutations in the N-terminal region, and in particular, by those in and neighboring the effector region (residues 32-40) and in the region (residues 56-59) flanking the N-terminal of Switch II. The abilities to bind Raf-1 and to induce neurite outgrowth of pheochromocytoma (PC) 12 cells correlate to each other for 22 Ras mutants. However, mutation A59T, which does not reduce the neurite-inducing or transforming activities, abolishes the ability to bind Raf-1. In contrast, mutations Y32F, K42A and L53A, which impair the neurite-inducing activity of Ras, have no effect on the Ras.Raf-1 association. Partially reduced Raf-1-binding ability was observed for mutants V29A, S39A, Y40W, R41A, V44A, L56A and T58A, which exhibit full neurite-inducing activity, and also for mutant V45E, which has no activity of neurite induction.
