Son Of Sevenless

Son of Sevenless (SOS) is a Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that plays a central role in numerous cellular signaling pathways. Like many other signaling molecules, SOS is autoinhibited in the cytosol and activates only after recruitment to the membrane. The mean activation time of individual SOS molecules has recently been measured to be ∼60 s, which is unexpectedly long and seemingly contradictory with cellular signaling timescales, which have been measured to be as fast as several seconds. Here, we rectify this discrepancy using a first-passage time analysis to reconstruct the effective signaling timescale of multiple SOS molecules from their single-molecule activation kinetics. Along with corresponding experimental measurements, this analysis reveals how the functional response time, comprised of many slowly activating molecules, can become substantially faster than the average molecular kinetics. This consequence stems from the enzymatic processivity of SOS in a highly out-of-equilibrium reaction cycle during receptor triggering. Ultimately, rare, early activation events dominate the macroscopic reaction dynamics.
