1I35 - PubMed Abstract: 
After activation, small GTPases such as Ras transfer the incoming signal to effectors by specifically interacting with the binding domain of these proteins. Structural details of the binding domain of different effectors determine which pathway is predominantly activated. Byr2 from fission yeast is a functional homolog of Raf, which is the direct downstream target of Ras in mammalians that initiates a protein kinase cascade. The amino acid sequence of Byr2's Ras binding domain is only weakly related to that of Raf, and Byr2's three-dimensional structure is unknown.
