Abstract

Significance Eukaryotic cells migrate through a gradient with a huge concentration range of chemoattractant stimuli by employing “adaptation,” in which cells no longer respond to the present stimuli, but remain sensitive to stronger stimuli. Many models agree on the “temporal adaptation”: a rapid “excitation” that triggers cellular responses and a temporally delayed “inhibition” that terminates the responses to reach adaptation. The inhibitory mechanism largely remains elusive, although many molecules of the excitatory signaling pathway have been identified. In the present study, we showed that GPCR-activated Ras negative regulator C2GAP1 locally inhibits Ras signaling for adaptation and long-range chemotaxis.
