FunctionGTPase KRas (KRas) plays a critical role in the control of cellular growth. Kras stands for Kirsten rat sarcoma virus gene. KRas is a small GTPase that functions as molecular switches by alternating between inactive GDP-bound state and active GTP-bound state[1]. DiseaseA single mutation of KRas G12C activates KRas and is implicated with various malignancies including lung adenocarcinoma, mutinous adenoma, ductal carcinoma of the pancreas and colorectal carcinoma[2]. KRas mutations are the most common genetic abnormalities in cancer. RelevanceKRas inhibition represents an attractive therapeutic strategy for many cancers. Structural highlightsThe GDP-bound KRas binds a following conformational change of the protein[3]. Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
