Abstract excerpt
RasGRP1 and Sos are two Ras-guanyl-nucleotide exchange factors that link TCR signal transduction to Ras and MAPK activation. Recent studies demonstrate positive selection of developing thymocytes is crucially dependent on RasGRP1, whereas negative selection of autoreactive thymocytes appears to be RasGRP1 independent. However, the role of RasGRP1 in T regulatory (Treg) cell development and function is unknown. In...
