A new dimension to Ras function: a novel role for nucleotide-free Ras in Class II phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase beta (PI3KC2β) regulation.

The intersectin 1 (ITSN1) scaffold stimulates Ras activation on endocytic vesicles without activating classic Ras effectors. The identification of Class II phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase beta, PI3KC2β, as an ITSN1 target on vesicles and the presence of a Ras binding domain (RBD) in PI3KC2β suggests a...
