description | The lipid-anchored RAS (Rat sarcoma) small GTPases (guanosine triphosphate hydrolases) are highly prevalent in human cancer. Traditional strategies of targeting the enzymatic activities of RAS have been shown to be difficult. Alternatively, RAS function and pathology are mostly restricted to nanoclusters on the plasma membrane (PM). Lipids are important structural components of these signaling platforms on the PM. However, how RAS nanoclusters selectively enrich distinct lipids in the PM, how different lipids contribute to RAS signaling and oncogenesis and whether the selective lipid sorting of RAS nanoclusters can be targeted have not been well-understood. Latest advances in quantitative super-resolution imaging and molecular dynamic simulations have allowed detailed characterization RAS/lipid interactions. In this review, we discuss the latest findings on the select lipid composition (with headgroup and acyl chain specificities) within RAS nanoclusters, the specific mechanisms for the select lipid sorting of RAS nanoclusters on the PM and how perturbing lipid compositions within RAS nanoclusters impacts RAS function and pathology. We also describe different strategies of manipulating lipid composition within RAS nanoclusters on the PM. |

Biomolecules Review The lipid-anchored RAS (Rat sarcoma) small GTPases (guanosine triphosphate hydrolases) are highly prevalent in human cancer. Traditional strategies of targeting the enzymatic activities of RAS have been shown to be difficult.
