Ras and Rap: are former enemies now friends?

Developmental cell - 1 Mar 2005

Hariharan Iswar K

Abstract excerpt

The small GTPase Rap1 was originally thought to function as an antagonist of Ras. A recent paper by provides evidence that Ras and Rap1 function in parallel to activate Raf downstream of the Torso receptor tyrosine kinase in Drosophila.
