Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the NF1 tumor suppressor underlie the familial tumor predisposition syndrome neurofibromatosis type I. Although its encoded protein, neurofibromin, functions as a Ras-GTPase activating protein (GAP), nothing is known about how it is normally regulated or its precise role in controlling Ras signaling pathways. We show here that neurofibromin is dynamically regulated by the ubiquitin-proteasome...
