          The protein hSos1 is a Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor. In the present study, we investigated the function of the amino-terminal region of the hSos1 protein, corresponding to the first 600 residues, which includes the Dbl and pleckstrin homology (DH and PH) domains. We demonstrated, using a series of truncated mutants, that this region is absolutely necessary for hSos1 activity. Our results suggest that the first 200 residues (upstream of DH domain), which we called the HF motif on the basis of their homology with histone H2A, may exert negative control over the functional activity of the whole hSos1 protein.

      This article has been withdrawn by the authors (although Rocío Jorge could not be reached and Natalia Martínez passed away). The authors have become aware of errors in the preparation of Figs. 2A, 3A, 4A, and 5A, where some lanes appear to be duplicated. The authors state that although replicated experiments performed at the time of the article as well as subsequent data published by other groups (Sondermann, H., Nagar, B., Bar-Sagi, D., and Kuriyan, J.
