Elucidating the Ras activation pathways in response to cyclic AMP in the aggregation of Dictyostelium discoideum
Ras proteins are highly conserved molecular switches that regulate cellular responses to external stimuli. Dictyostelium discoideum contains an extensive family of Ras proteins that function in growth, cell type differentiation, and more. While there is much genetic evidence for the involvement of R...
