Neurofibromin can inhibit Ras-dependent growth by a mechanism independent of its GTPase-accelerating function.

The NF1 gene, which is altered in patients with type 1 neurofibromatosis, has been postulated to function as a tumor suppressor gene. The NF1 protein product neurofibromin stimulates the intrinsic GTPase activity of active GTP-bound Ras, thereby inactivating it. Consistent with a tumor suppressor fu...
