K-Ras mediated murine epidermal tumorigenesis Is dependent upon and associated with elevated Rac1 activity [PDF]
A common goal for potential cancer therapies is the identification of differences in protein expression or activity that would allow for the selective targeting of tumor vs. normal cells. The Ras proto-oncogene family (K-Ras, H-Ras and N-Ras) are amongst

Ras-induced EpCAM and several other membrane proteins.
A. Microarray data (GSE12777) for 51 breast cancer cell line was analyzed using Gene-E software. E-cadherin correlated 121 genes are enriched in first step followed by EpCAM close (correlated). These genes are presented in normal and Ras-transduced cells

The cationic region of Rhes mediates its interactions with specific Gβ subunits [PDF]
Ras homologue enriched in striatum (Rhes) is a small monomeric G protein which functions in a variety of cellular processes, including attenuation of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)signalling.

Regulation of Ras Signaling by S-Nitrosylation
Ras are a family of small GTPases that function as signal transduction mediators and are involved in cell proliferation, migration, differentiation and survival.

Activation of Ras requires the ERM-dependent link of actin to the plasma membrane.
BackgroundReceptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) participate in a multitude of signaling pathways, some of them via the small G-protein Ras. An important component in the activation of Ras is Son of sevenless (SOS), which catalyzes the nucleotide exchange on ...

Drug targeting opportunities en route to Ras nanoclusters.
peer reviewedDisruption of the native membrane organization of Ras by the farnesyltransferase inhibitor tipifarnib in the late 1990s constituted the first indirect approach to drug target Ras. Since then, our understanding of how dynamically Ras shuttles

Potent and selective eradication of tumor cells by an EpCAM-targeted Ras-degrading enzyme
Despite decades of efforts, an urgent need remains to develop tumor cell-selective rat sarcoma (Ras)-targeting therapies that can treat patients with Ras-driven tumors.

On the role of ras and BRF1 in the regulation of ARE-dependent mRNA-turnover [PDF]
Stability of the mRNAs of cytokines, chemokines, growth-factors, protooncogenes and others are regulated via an AU-rich element (ARE) in their 3’ untranslated region (UTR).

Targeting RAS phosphorylation in cancer therapy: Mechanisms and modulators
RAS, a member of the small GTPase family, functions as a binary switch by shifting between inactive GDP-loaded and active GTP-loaded state. RAS gain-of-function mutations are one of the leading causes in human oncogenesis, accounting for ∼19% of the ...
