12. •], this report shows that the molecular mechanism of the RalGEF-RasGTP interaction is comparable with but distinct from the Raf1-kinase-Ras interaction and indicates that Ras binding might induce a conformational change in RalGEFs. The structures provide a rational for the specificity of the RalGEF and Raf-interacting Ras effector domain mutants.

[17] and Okazaki et al. [44], this study demonstrates the involvement of RalGEF-mediated signaling in transcriptional activation. An activated mutant of Rlf induces activation of the SRE , which can be inhibited by dominant negative Ral but not inhibitors of the Erk pathway. Finally, together with the paper from D'Adamo et al. [11], it describes that activation of RalGEF signaling alone is sufficient to induce serum-independent cell growth.
19. •], this paper shows that Rap can activate RalGDS. In addition, the importance of membrane localization in the activation mechanism of Ral is addressed.
