Disease relevance of Gap1

 

High impact information on Gap1

  • Inactivation of the locus, Gap1, mimics constitutive activation of the Sevenless receptor tyrosine kinase and eliminates the need for a functional Sevenless protein in the R7 cell [2].
  • The tumour-suppressor gene Neurofibromatosis 1 (Nf1) encodes a Ras-specific GTPase activating protein (Ras-GAP) [3].
  • In contrast, mutation of Y918, a site capable of binding mammalian rasGAP and PLC-gammal, increases Tor signaling [4].
  • Using this technique, we have identified a new mutant, mip (more inner photoreceptors), in which this map shows a striking hyperinnervation [5].
  • Cross GTPase-activating protein (CrossGAP)/Vilse links the Roundabout receptor to Rac to regulate midline repulsion [6].
 

Biological context of Gap1

 

Anatomical context of Gap1

  • Coimmunoprecipitation experiments in COS cells confirmed that HsAIRK-1 and HsAIRK-2 both interact with RasGAP [11].
  • RasGAP pull-down experiments showed that it interacts with HsAIRK-1 in G(2)/M HeLa cells [11].
 

Associations of Gap1 with chemical compounds

  • An inositol-1,3,4, 5-tetrakisphosphate (IP4)-sensitive extended PH domain is essential for Gap1 activity, while Ca2+-sensitive C2 domains and a glutamine-rich region contribute equally to full activity in vivo [8].
  • These results show that RasGAP can function as an inhibitor of signaling pathways mediated by Ras and receptor tyrosine kinases in vivo [1].
  • The interaction is dependent on the SH2 (Src homology 2) domains of RasGAP, which have been shown to interact with a phosphotyrosine residue within the consensus sequence (phospho)YXXPXD [12].
  • Identification of Aurora kinases as RasGAP Src homology 3 domain-binding proteins [11].
 

Other interactions of Gap1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Gap1

  • Sequence analysis revealed that the 2842-bp cDNA encodes a putative 628-amino acid protein product, which is a member of the GTPase-activating protein (GAP) family [15].
