Ras proteins are the founding members of a large superfamily of monomeric small GTPases. These proteins are best known for their ability to serve as molecular switches regulating diverse cellular processes that include cell cycle progression, cell survival, actin cytoskeletal organization, cell polarity and movement, and vesicular and nuclear transport (Gervaise Loirand, 2013). Both unicellular and multicellular organisms express Ras proteins. The human Ras superfamily is divided into five major branches: Ras proteins, Rho, Ran, Rab, and “unclassified” sequences (Gervaise Loirand, 2013). Even though, these are separated branches, they share a lot of similarities not only in their structure but also in their functions. | Ras proteins are the founding members of a large superfamily of monomeric small GTPases.
