Guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) stimulate the intrinsic GDP/GTP exchange activity of Ras and promote the formation of active Ras-GTP, which in turn controls diverse signalling networks important for the regulation of cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, vesicular trafficking, and gene expression. RasGEF1b is a GEF, whose expression is induced in macrophages on stimulation with toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists. Here, we showed that in vitro RasGEF1b expression by macrophages is mostly induced by TLR3 (poly I:C) and TLR4 (lipopolysaccharyde) through the MyD88-independent pathway. In vivo infection with the protozoan parasites Trypanosoma cruzi and Plasmodium chabaudi induced RasGEF1b in an MyD88-, TRIF-, and IFN-gamma-dependent manner. Ectopically expressed RasGEF1b was found, mostly, in the heavy membrane fraction of HEK 293T, and by confocal microscopy, it was found to be located at early endosomes. Computational modelling of the RasGEF1b-Ras interaction revealed that RasGEF1b interacts with the binding domain site of Ras, a critical region for interacting with GEFs involved in the activation of Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK pathway. More important, RasGEF1b was found to be closely associated with Ras in live cells and to trigger Ras activity. Altogether, these results indicate that on TLR activation, RasGEF1b may trigger Ras-like proteins and regulate specific biological activities described for this subtype of GTPases.
