Mutations in members of the RAS family of small GTPases have been associated with numerous human cancers. However, RAS family members are notoriously difficult to target. In this issue of Structure, Lu et al. (2017) examine the effects of two compounds with distinct chemical scaffolds on the structure and dynamics of an oncogenic KRAS mutant, thus ...

Escaping KRAS: Gaining Autonomy and Resistance to KRAS Inhibition in KRAS Mutant Cancers
Activating mutations in KRAS are present in 25% of human cancers. When mutated, the KRAS protein becomes constitutively active, stimulating various effector pathways and leading to the deregulation of key cellular processes, including the suppression of apoptosis and enhancement of proliferation.

Oncogenic Kras are genetic dependencies for the majority of pancreatic and colorectal adenocarcinomas; however, much remains to be understood regarding its tropism to these carcinomas. Recently developed organoid technology presents a more representative model culture system for pancreatic and colon epithelial tissues as well as better fostering the ...

KRAS Mouse Models: Modeling Cancer Harboring KRAS Mutations [PDF]
KRAS is a potent oncogene and is mutated in about 30% of all human cancers. However, the biological context of KRAS-dependent oncogenesis is poorly understood. Genetically engineered mouse models of cancer provide invaluable tools to study the oncogenic process, and insights from KRAS-driven models have significantly increased our understanding of the ...

Detection of activating mutations in RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK and JAK/STAT signaling pathways [PDF]
Issue.The study of activating mutations (NRAS,KRAS,FLT3,JAK2,CRLF2genes) of RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK and JAK/STAT signaling pathways in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) in adult patients which are included in Russian multicenter clinical trials ...

An integrative approach unveils FOSL1 as an oncogene vulnerability in KRAS-driven lung and pancreatic cancer [PDF]
KRAS mutated tumours represent a large fraction of human cancers, but the vast majority remains refractory to current clinical therapies. Thus, a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms triggered by KRAS oncogene may yield alternative ...
