Abstract

New work shows that activation of the Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor SOS is dependent upon the membrane density of phosphatidylinositol-4,5- bisphosphate (PIP₂) and GTP-bound Ras. These signals synergize to release the autoinhibitory DH-PH domain, while the histone domain fine-tunes SOS activation in response to PIP₂.
