Which of the following statement regarding RTK/Ras pathway is incorrect?

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling
  1. Receptor activation leads to re-localization of Sos from the cytosol to the membrane, which brings Sos close to its substrate, Ras∙GDP, which is already bound to the plasma membrane by means of a covalently attached lipid.

  2. Binding of Sos to Ras∙GDP leads to conformational changes in the switch I and switch II segments of Ras, thereby opening the binding pocket for GDP so it can diffuse out.

  3. The SH2 domains in GRB2 selectively bind to proline-rich sequences in Sos; different SH3 domains in other proteins bind to proline-rich sequences distinct from those in Sos.

  4. Ras is activated by the exchange of GDP for GTP. Active Ras∙GTP binds to the N-terminal regulatory domain of Raf, a serine/threonine kinase, thereby activating its kinase activity.
