Abstract
Membrane localization of Ras proteins is necessary for their biological functions and oncogenic activity. We report here on the identification of Brain I3 Binding Protein (BRI3BP) as a novel binding partner for Ras. We show that K-Ras4B plasma membrane localization and biological function are reduced in the absence of BRI3BP. BRI3BP interacts with K-Ras4B and K-Ras4A and our data suggest that BRI3BP operates within the recycling endosomal compartment to regulate K-Ras localization to the plasma membrane. This study uncovers a new regulatory protein for Ras membrane localization.
