Rap2B regulation pathway

RAP2B member of RAS oncogene family (Rap-2B) is a member of the Ras-like small GTPases family expressed in platelets. The protein is known to influence platelet activation [1], [2], [3].

Rap-2B is posttranslationally modified by geranylgeranylation, catalyzed by Geranylgeranyltransferase type I (GGTase-I) [4], [5].

Activity of Rap-2B is mainly regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) that promote GTP-bound (active) state of Rap-2B. Main GEFs for Rap-2B are Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factors 2 and 5 (PDZ-GEF1 and MR-GEF) [6]. Activated Adrenergic beta-1 receptor (Beta-1 adrenergic receptor) directly binds to PDZ-GEF1 and stimulates its GEF activity [7]. MR-GEF is regulated by Muscle RAS oncogene homolog (M-RAS) that binds to and inhibits MR-GEF activity [6].

Activated Rap-2B can stimulate enzymatic activity of Phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLC-epsilon) [8], [9].
