| Abstract | The effect of a series of mutations on the transforming potential of normal human rasH has been compared with their effects on GTPase and guanine nucleotide exchange rates of p21. The mutation Val-146 resulted in partial activation of transforming potential which could be attributed to a greater than 1,000-fold-increased rate of nucleotide exchange in the absence of an effect on GTPase. In contrast, the more modest enhancement of exchange rate (approximately 100-fold) which resulted from the mutation Met-14 did not affect biological activity. The partially activating mutation Thr-59 was found to result in both a 5-fold reduction in GTPase and a 10-fold increase in nucleotide exchange. However, the nontransforming mutant Ile-59 displayed a comparable decrease in GTPase without an effect on nucleotide exchange. The activating effect of the Thr-59 mutation may thus represent a combined effect of reduced GTPase and increased exchange. Similarly, the strongly activating mutation Leu-61 resulted in a fivefold increase in nucleotide exchange in addition to decreased GTPase, whereas weakly activating mutations at position 61 (Trp and Pro) resulted only in decreased GTPase without affecting nucleotide exchange rates. Finally, combining the two mutations Met-14 and Ile-59, which alone had no effect on biological activity, yielded a double mutant with a 20-fold increased transforming potential, demonstrating a synergistic effect of these two mutations. Overall, these results indicate that large increases in nucleotide exchange can activate ras transforming potential in the absence of decreased GTPase and that relatively modest increases in nucleotide exchange can act synergistically with decreased GTPase to contribute to ras activation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
