Abstract excerpt
Substitution of asparagine for serine at position 17 of human H-ras results in an impaired GTP-binding activity, causing the mutant Ras protein to be locked in a constitutively inactive GDP-bound state. Expression of this mutant in NIH 3T3 cells inhibits cell proliferation by blocking endogenous ras function. Plasmids that encode the analogous dominant negative mutation at position 17 in human N- and K-ras were...
