Cell signaling in 2D vs. 3D
ZOOM ID: 997 8258 4700 (Biomedical Mathematics Online Colloquium) (pw: 1234)Abstract: The activation of Ras depends upon the translocation of its guanine nucleotide exchange factor, Sos, to the plasma membrane. Moreover, artificially inducing Sos to translocate to the plasma membrane is sufficient to bring about Ras activation and activation of Ras’s targets. There are many other examples of signaling proteins that must translocate to the …
