## Abstract Ras proteins are members of a superfamily of small GTPases that are involved in many aspects of cell growth control. The ras p21 protooncogene products, Hβras, Kβras, and Nβras, transmit signals from growth factor receptors to a cascade of protein kinases that begins with the Raf protoo

β¦ Synopsis
Experiments using the physical loading of purified recombinant p2 I ras proteins into quiescent normal cells to analyze how the proteins stimulate DNA synthesis and morphological transformation are reviewed. The results indicate that oncogenic p2 I ras proteins rapidly activate a protein-kinase-C-dependent pathway and a proteinkinase-C-independent pathway. The activation of protein kinase C is absolutely required for p2I ras to stimulate DNA synthesis but is not required for morphological transformation.
