Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

RasGRP3 is a diacylglycerol (DAG)/phorbol ester–regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that integrates lipid second-messenger signals into Ras-family GTPase activation across immune, endothelial, and epithelial cell types. It catalyzes GDP-to-GTP exchange on H-Ras, R-Ras, Rap1, and Rap2B, and is recruited to membranes via its C1 domain upon DAG or phorbol ester binding; full catalytic activation additionally requires PKC-mediated phosphorylation on Thr133, with PKCδ, PKCε, PKCθ, and PKCβ2 each capable of this modification (PMID:10835426, PMID:11221888, PMID:15657177, PMID:15213298, PMID:28486107). In B cells, RasGRP3 cooperates with RasGRP1 to drive BCR-induced Ras-ERK signaling and proliferation, and Rasgrp3-null mice display hypogammaglobulinemia; in macrophages, RasGRP3 instead preferentially activates Rap1 upon TLR stimulation to restrain pro-inflammatory cytokine output (PMID:16301621, PMID:25118589). RasGRP3 protein stability is controlled by ubiquitin-dependent degradation mediated by the E3 ligases UHRF1 and MID1, and in GNAQ/GNA11-mutant uveal melanoma RasGRP3 serves as the obligate link between constitutive Gαq signaling and MAPK pathway activation (PMID:28486107, PMID:29490280, PMID:41689678, PMID:36826998).
