Abstract excerpt
We have previously demonstrated that substitution of Asn for Ser at position 17 of RasH yields a dominant inhibitory protein whose expression in cells interferes with endogenous Ras function (L. A. Feig, and G. M. Cooper, Mol. Cell. Biol. 8:3235-3243, 1988). Subsequent structural studies have shown that the hydroxyl group of Ser-17 contributes to the binding of Mg2+ associated with bound nucleotide. In this...
