c-Cbl contains: 

a domain that binds directly to phosphorylated EGF receptors

a RING finger domain, which recruits ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes and mediates transfer of ubiquitin to the receptor

Monomeric Ras protein 

(∼170 amino acids) belongs to the GTPase superfamily of

intracellular switch proteins

#XL - T Zoology

Ras has an intrinsically slower rate of GTP hydrolysis, so Ras∙GTP requires the assistance of another protein, GAP.

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

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.
