Exquisitely Specific anti-KRAS Biodegraders Inform on the Cellular Prevalence of Nucleotide-Loaded States

Shuhui Lim et al.

Summary: Mutations in RAS proteins are common drivers of cancer, with some mutations being particularly difficult to treat. Targeted degradation has emerged as a promising alternative approach, but challenges remain in finding high-affinity ligands for KRAS and in discovering hybrid molecules that can effectively degrade the protein.

Engineering subtilisin proteases that specifically degrade active RAS

Yingwei Chen et al.

Summary: Chen et al. describe a rational design of subtilisin mutants that degrade active RAS by cleaving a conserved sequence in switch 2. They further modified the active site to be dependent on a cofactor to generate high target specificity. Proteases engineered to cleave this region degraded RAS in vitro and in cells with a promise of adaptability for other target proteins too.

Selective and noncovalent targeting of RAS mutants for inhibition and degradation

Kai Wen Teng et al.

Summary: A monobody named 12VC1 that can selectively recognize and bind to the active state of KRAS mutants has been discovered in this study, showing great potential in inhibiting the proliferation of RAS-driven cancer cell lines. This finding suggests a new strategy for treating oncogenic RAS mutants through inhibition and degradation.

RAS specific protease induces irreversible growth arrest via p27 in several KRAS mutant colorectal cancer cell lines

Caleb K. Stubbs et al.

Summary: RRSP has the ability to inactivate all isoforms of RAS and major oncogenic KRAS mutants, with varying outcomes in terms of cell fate within different colorectal cancer cell lines. While some cell lines undergo apoptosis upon RRSP treatment, others experience G1 cell cycle arrest. Additionally, RRSP may affect cell growth through the rescued expression of tumor suppressor protein p27 (Kip1) in certain cell lines.
