Function

Plays a crucial role in coupling NGF stimulation to the activation of both EPHB2 and MAPK14 signaling pathways and in NGF-dependent neuronal differentiation. Involved in ELK1 transactivation through the Ras-MAPK signaling cascade that mediates a wide variety of cellular functions, including cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation.

Activity summary

RIT1 also known as RIT or Ras-like without CAAX 1 is a small GTPase with a mass of approximately 21 kDa. It belongs to the Ras superfamily of proteins which are involved in signal transduction. RIT1 is widely expressed in various tissues including the brain where it plays a role in neuronal functions. Its structure and sequence share similarities with other Ras-related proteins although its regulatory mechanisms may differ.

Biological function summary

This protein regulates cell signaling pathways that control growth differentiation and survival. It does not exist alone but interacts with multiple effector proteins to exert its function. RIT1 has been implicated in protecting cells from stress-induced apoptosis suggesting its role in maintaining cell homeostasis. Researchers continue to examine how RIT1 modulates intracellular processes and its influence over cellular dynamics.

Pathways

The Ras/MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways are where RIT1 participates actively. The protein operates closely with MAP kinases which further regulate gene expression and cellular responses. In the PI3K/AKT pathway RIT1 facilitates the signaling required for cell survival and growth. Its interactions with these pathways highlight the influence it has on key regulatory proteins like AKT.

Associated diseases and disorders

RIT1 mutations have associations with Noonan syndrome and certain cancers. Researchers have identified connections between RIT1 and other Ras pathway-related proteins such as KRAS and NRAS which are frequently mutated in similar conditions. Understanding these associations helps unravel RIT1's role in pathogenesis and highlights its value as a potential target for therapeutic interventions.

    ICC/IF image of ab53720 stained HepG2 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab53720, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
