title: Effect of H-ras proteins on the activity of polyphosphoinositide phospholipase C in HL60 membranes.
abstract: The present study was undertaken to investigate whether purified ras proteins can affect the activity of polyphosphoinositide specific phospholipase C in a cell-free membrane system. For this purpose we used homogenous preparations of the proto-oncogenic (H-ras(gly 12)) and the oncogenic (H-ras(val 12)) forms of the human H-ras proteins and membranes prepared from the human leukemic HL60 cells. We demonstrate that both the proto-oncogenic and the oncogenic form of H-ras proteins stimulate phospholipase C activity only when coupled to non-hydrolysable analogues of GTP.
