FIG. 1
Sequence conservation between Ras proteins. Sequence identity from 0 to 100% is presented as a color gradient from yellow to orange to red. The sequences corresponding to the membrane anchor region of each human Ras protein are shown with their respective posttranslational modifications. The farnesylated cysteine residue which is conserved in all Ras proteins is shown in red. Palmitoylated cysteine residues in N- and H-Ras proteins are shown in blue.
