Mutant K-Ras activation of the proapoptotic MST2 pathway is antagonized by wild-type K-Ras.
K-Ras mutations are frequent in colorectal cancer (CRC), albeit K-Ras is the only Ras isoform that can elicit apoptosis. Here, we show that mutant K-Ras directly binds to the tumor suppressor RASSF1A to activate the apoptotic MST2-LATS1 pathway. In this pathway LATS1 binds to and sequesters the ubiquitin ligase Mdm2 causing stabilization of the tumor suppressor p53 and apoptosis. However, mutan...
متن کاملWhile K-ras is essential for mouse development, expression of the K-ras 4A splice variant is dispensable.
In mammals, the three classical ras genes encode four highly homologous proteins, N-Ras, H-Ras, and the isoforms K-Ras 4A and 4B. Previous studies have shown that K-ras is essential for mouse development and that while K-ras 4A and 4B are expressed during development, K-ras 4A expression is regulated temporally and spatially and occurs in adult kidney, intestine, stomach, and liver. In the pres...
متن کامل4-Hydroxytamoxifen induces autophagic death through K-Ras degradation.
Tamoxifen is widely used to treat estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Recent findings that tamoxifen and its derivative 4-hydroxytamoxifen (OHT) can exert estrogen receptor-independent cytotoxic effects have prompted the initiation of clinical trials to evaluate its use in estrogen receptor-negative malignancies. For example, tamoxifen and OHT exert cytotoxic effects in malignant peripher...
متن کاملRas-GRF activates Ha-Ras, but not N-Ras or K-Ras 4B, protein in vivo.
Human cells contain four homologous Ras proteins, but it is unknown whether these homologues have different biological functions. As a first step in determining if Ras homologues might participate in distinct signaling cascades, we assessed whether a given Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor could selectively activate a single Ras homologue in vivo. We found that Ras-GRF/Cdc25Mm activates Ha...
متن کاملC-Raf Is Required for the Initiation of Lung Cancer by K-Ras
Ras effectors required for transformation depend on the species, the cell type, and the tumor stage. However, these findings may be confounded because they were mainly conducted in cultured cells and by using H-Ras, the least commonly mutated Ras gene, to transform cells. K-Ras is the predominantly mutated Ras family member, and activating mutations in K-Ras are associated primarily with malign...
