Binding of a GAP to Ras⋅GTP accelerates the intrinsic GTPase activity of Ras by more than a hundredfold

#XL - T Zoology

The GAP for RAS (called a RAS-GAP) works by inserting one of its arginine side chains into the Ras active site, thus stabilizing an intermediate in the

hydrolysis reaction.

Constitutively active Ras proteins (RasD) 

Replacement of the normal glycine 12 with any other amino acid (except proline) blocks the functional binding of GAP proteins and in essence “locks” Ras in the active GTP-bound state.

GRB2 is an adapter protein, serves as a link, or scaffold, between the activated receptor and Sos

Sos is a GEF that catalyzes conversion of inactive GDP bound Ras to the active GTP-bound form.
