    text
  • constitutively bound to the membrane via interactions of its pleckstrin homology (PH) domain with PIP2 and PIP3
  • basic FUNCTION
  • stimulates the GTPase activity of normal RAS p21
  • suppressor of RAS function
  • role in intracellular calcium homeostasis
  • might be a specific IP4 receptor
  • critical, conserved, and nonredundant role for RASA3 in vertebrate hematopoiesis
  • RASA3 catalytic activity controls likely RBGEF1 activation and integrin signaling during megakaryocyte differentiation
  • function of RASA3 during megakaryopoiesis, megakaryocyte adhesion and migration as well as integrin signaling

    protein
  • links GNAI1 proteins to inhibit GNAQ-induced RAS/ERK1/2 activation
  • RASA3 targets RAS and RABGEF1
  • P2RY12 signaling is required to inhibit RASA3 and enable sustained RABGEF1-dependent platelet activation and thrombus formation at sites of vascular injury

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • in mice, reduced expression of Rasa3 led to premature platelet activation and markedly reduced the life span of circulating platelets
  • Rasa3 catalytic inactivation in mouse hematopoietic cells results in a lethal syndrome characterized by severe defects during megakaryopoiesis, thrombocytopenia and a predisposition to develop preleukemia
  • scat phenotype is due to a mutation in Rasa3 with its mislocalization leading to its loss of function, and to crisis and remission episodes
