    text
  • peripheral plasma membrane protein
  • activation of RasGRP1 requires its translocation to membranes, which can be directly mediated by either its PT or C1 domains
  • basic FUNCTION
  • guanine nucleotide releasing (exchange) protein 1, RAS activator
  • involved in Ras activation crucial for lymphocyte development and effector function (Roose 2007)
  • orchestrates Ras signaling in two ways, by activating Ras directly andby facilitating priming of SOS1 with RasGTP that binds the allosteric pocket (Roose 2007)
  • essential in T cell receptor-mediated Ras-Erk activation (Liu 2007)
  • essential regulator of mast cell function (Liu 2007)
  • plays an essential role in NK cell effector functions (Lee 2009)
  • might act as an important bridge between phospholipase-gamma activation and NK cell effector functions via the Ras-MAPK pathway (Lee 2009)
  • RASGRP1 and GRB2/SOS1 are insulators of signals that lead to RAS activation induced by different stimuli, rather than cooperating downstream of the TCRA
  • physiological relevance of the tail domain in RASGRP1 function and control of ERK signaling
  • required for ERK activation downstream of CXCR4 signaling
  • important regulator of proliferation and differentiation at the thymic beta-selection checkpoint and functions downstream of CXCR4 to activate the Ras/MAPK pathway
  • RASGRP1 and SOS1 are RAS-specific nucleotide exchange factors that have distinct roles in lymphocyte development
  • RASGRP1 upregulates signaling from RAS and contributes to epidermal tumorigenesis by increasing the total dosage of active RAS
  • creates a negative feedback loop that limits proliferative EGFR-SOS1-RAS signals in colorectal carcinoma cells
  • is an important guanine nucleotide exchange factor and activator of the RAS-MAPK pathway following T cell antigen receptor (TCR) signaling
  • is a guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor essential for MAP-kinase mediated signaling in lymphocytes

  • Ca2+
  • lipid
  • protein
  • binding to SKAP1 required the C-terminus of SKAP1 and was enhanced by tyrosine phosphorylation of SKAP1 (Kosko 2008)
  • inetracting with SOS1 for Ras activation (unusual RASGRP1-SOS1 interplay results in sensitive and robust Ras activation that cannot be achieved with either activator alone) (Roose 2007)
  • GNAI2 and ZAP70 mediate RASGRP1 membrane localization and activation of CXCL12-induced T cell functions
  • RASGRP1, RASGRP3 may regulate progenitor entry into the thymus through a CCR9-dependent mechanism
  • RASGRP1-deficient cells showed decreased activation of the GTPase RHOA
  • cell & other

    TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
    constitutional       loss of function
    contributes to the development of autoimmunity in a subset of SLE patients
    tumoral     --over  
    on most T lymphocytic leukemias and is a common site of proviral insertion in retrovirus-induced murine T-cell lymphomas
    tumoral     --other  
    deregulated expression of RasGRP1 promotes lymphomagenesis by expanding the pool of thymocytes which are susceptible to transformation
    constitutional       loss of function
    resulted in defective proliferation, activation and motility of T cells and B cells, and causes immunodeficiency with impaired cytoskeletal dynamics
    constitutional germinal mutation      
    in combined immunodeficiency with EBV positive B cell lymphoma and epidermodysplasia verruciformis
