Structural highlights
Disease[RASH_HUMAN] Defects in HRAS are the cause of faciocutaneoskeletal syndrome (FCSS) [MIM:218040]. A rare condition characterized by prenatally increased growth, postnatal growth deficiency, mental retardation, distinctive facial appearance, cardiovascular abnormalities (typically pulmonic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and/or atrial tachycardia), tumor predisposition, skin and musculoskeletal abnormalities.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Defects in HRAS are the cause of congenital myopathy with excess of muscle spindles (CMEMS) [MIM:218040]. CMEMS is a variant of Costello syndrome.[8] Defects in HRAS may be a cause of susceptibility to Hurthle cell thyroid carcinoma (HCTC) [MIM:607464]. Hurthle cell thyroid carcinoma accounts for approximately 3% of all thyroid cancers. Although they are classified as variants of follicular neoplasms, they are more often multifocal and somewhat more aggressive and are less likely to take up iodine than are other follicular neoplasms. Note=Mutations which change positions 12, 13 or 61 activate the potential of HRAS to transform cultured cells and are implicated in a variety of human tumors. Defects in HRAS are a cause of susceptibility to bladder cancer (BLC) [MIM:109800]. A malignancy originating in tissues of the urinary bladder. It often presents with multiple tumors appearing at different times and at different sites in the bladder. Most bladder cancers are transitional cell carcinomas. They begin in cells that normally make up the inner lining of the bladder. Other types of bladder cancer include squamous cell carcinoma (cancer that begins in thin, flat cells) and adenocarcinoma (cancer that begins in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids). Bladder cancer is a complex disorder with both genetic and environmental influences. Note=Defects in HRAS are the cause of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).[9] Defects in HRAS are the cause of Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome (SFM) [MIM:163200]. A disease characterized by sebaceous nevi, often on the face, associated with variable ipsilateral abnormalities of the central nervous system, ocular anomalies, and skeletal defects. Many oral manifestations have been reported, not only including hypoplastic and malformed teeth, and mucosal papillomatosis, but also ankyloglossia, hemihyperplastic tongue, intraoral nevus, giant cell granuloma, ameloblastoma, bone cysts, follicular cysts, oligodontia, and odontodysplasia. Sebaceous nevi follow the lines of Blaschko and these can continue as linear intraoral lesions, as in mucosal papillomatosis.[10] Function[RASH_HUMAN] Ras proteins bind GDP/GTP and possess intrinsic GTPase activity.[11] [12] [13] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe X-ray structures of the 1:1 complexes formed between p21H-ras (residues 1 to 166) and the nucleotides P3-1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl guanosine triphosphate ("caged GTP"; pure R- and S-diastereomers) and 3'-O-(N-methylanthraniloyl)-2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imido)-triphosphate ("mant dG-ppNHp"), have been refined to an R-factor of 21.4% (R-caged GTP, 1.85 A resolution), 18.9% (S-caged GTP, 2.5 A resolution) and 17.6% (mant dGppNHp, 2.7 A resolution), respectively. Details of the structure determination, refinement and the structures themselves are presented. The overall structures of the complexes are identical in terms of the general organization of their secondary structure elements and are also identical to that reported for the analogous complex of p21H-ras with GppNHp. The binding of the GTP part is not significantly affected by the additional aromatic group (cage and mant, respectively) in contrast to the original observation on p21:caged GTP using the racemic mixture of R- and S-caged GTP. The main differences in the structures are observed in the region of loop L2 (residues Glu31 to Thr35) where the additional aromatic group attached to the nucleotide comes very close to the side-chain of Tyr32, including backbone displacements of 2.6 A, 2.2 A and 0.3 A for the residues from Glu31 to Thr35 for R-caged, S-caged GTP and mant dGppNHp, respectively. The refined structures provide additional data for the design of new nucleotide analogs and the importance of their stereochemistry as well as for the design of new mutant forms of p21H-ras for further biochemical investigations. The binding mode of mant dGppNHp reveals significant features for the understanding of the fluorescence signals observed in solution.
