Rap1b has been implicated in the transduction of the cAMP mitogenic response. Agonists
that increase intracellular cAMP rapidly activate (ie GTP binding) and phosphorylate Rap1b
on Ser 179 at its C terminus. cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)-mediated
phosphorylation of Rap1b is required for cAMP-dependent mitogenesis, tumorigenesis, and
inhibition of AKT activity. However, the role of phosphorylation still remains unknown. In this
study, we utilized amide hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectroscopy (DXMS) to …
