Hotspot point mutations at codons G12, G13, and Q61 account for 95% of all these mutations, which are well established to render the encoded proteins oncogenic. In humans, this family comprises three genes: HRAS, NRAS, and KRAS. Accumulating evidence argues that oncogenic RAS point mutations may be initiating, as they are often truncal in human tumours and capable of inducing tumorigenesis in mice. As such, there is great interest in detecting oncogenic mutation in the RAS genes to understand the origins of cancer, as well as for early detection purposes. To this end, we previously adapted the microbial ultra-sensitive M aximum D epth S equencing (MDS) assay for the murine Kras gene, which was capable of detecting oncogenic mutations in the tissues of mice days after carcinogen exposure, essentially capturing the very first step in tumour initiation. Given this, we report here the adaption and details of this assay to detect mutations in a human KRAS sequence at an analytic sensitivity of one mutation in a million independently barcoded templates. This humanized version of MDS can thus be exploited to detect oncogenic mutations in KRAS at an incredible sensitivity and modified for the same purpose for the other RAS genes.","PeriodicalId":22139,"journal":{"name":"Small GTPases","volume":"13 1","pages":"287 - 295"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42208867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diverse eukaryotes have varying numbers of Rab paralogs. Currently, little is known about the evolutionary pattern of Rab GTPase in most major eukaryotic 'supergroups'. Here, we present a comprehensive phylogenetic reconstruction of the Rab GTPase gene family in the eukaryotic 'supergroup' Amoebozoa, a diverse lineage represented by unicellular and multicellular organisms. We demonstrate that Amoebozoa conserved 20 of the 23 ancestral Rab GTPases predicted to be present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor and massively expanded several 'novel' in-paralogs. Due to these 'novel' in-paralogs, the Rab family composition dramatically varies between the members of Amoebozoa; as a consequence, 'supergroup'-based studies may significantly change our current understanding of the evolution and diversity of this gene family. The high diversity of the Rab GTPase gene family in Amoebozoa makes this 'supergroup' a key lineage to study and advance our knowledge of the evolution of Rab in Eukaryotes.","PeriodicalId":22139,"journal":{"name":"Small GTPases","volume":"13 1","pages":"100-113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21541248.2021.1903794","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9072723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ELMO proteins form a tight complex with the DOCK1-5 guanine nucleotide exchange factors that regulate RAC1 spatiotemporal activation and signalling. DOCK proteins and RAC1 are known to have fundamental roles in central nervous system development. Here, we searched for homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the ELMO3 gene in 390 whole exomes sequenced in trio in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders compatible with a genetic origin. We found a compound heterozygous mutation in ELMO3 (c.1153A>T, p.Ser385Cys and c.1009 G > A, p.Val337Ile) in a 5 year old male child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developmental delay. These mutations did not interfere with the formation of an ELMO3/DOCK1 complex, but markedly impaired the ability of the complex to promote RAC1-GTP-loading. Consequently, cells expressing DOCK1 and either of the ELMO3 mutants displayed impaired migration and invasion. Collectively, our results suggest that biallelic loss-of-function mutations in ELMO3 may cause a developmental delay and provide new insight into the role of ELMO3 in neurodevelopmental as well as the pathological consequences of ELMO3 mutations.","PeriodicalId":22139,"journal":{"name":"Small GTPases","volume":"13 1","pages":"48-55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21541248.2021.1888557","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9089210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we analysed the effect of Rab3a on virion production of the murine leukaemia virus (MLV), which is another member of the retrovirus family. We found that Rab3a silencing induced lysosomal degradation of the MLV Gag protein, and recovery of the Rab3a expression restored the level of the Gag protein through a complex formation of MLV Gag and Rab3a, indicating that Rab3a is required for MLV Gag protein expression. In contrast, CD63 silencing decreased the infectivity of released virions but had no effect on virion production, indicating that CD63 facilitates the infectivity of released MLV particles. Although Rab3a induced CD63 degradation in uninfected cells, the complex of MLV Gag and Rab3a suppressed the Rab3a-mediated CD63 degradation in MLV-infected cells. Finally, we found that the MLV Gag protein interacts with Rab3a to stabilize its own protein and CD63 that facilitates the infectivity of released MLV particles. Considering the involvement of Rab3a in lysosome trafficking to the plasma membrane, it may also induce cell surface transport of the MLV Gag protein.","PeriodicalId":22139,"journal":{"name":"Small GTPases","volume":"13 1","pages":"162-182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21541248.2021.1939631","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10579182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So far, most KRAS targeting strategies have failed, and there are no KRAS-specific drugs available. However, clinical candidates targeting the KRAS G12C protein have recently been developed. MRTX849 and recently approved Sotorasib are covalent binders targeting the mutated cysteine 12, occupying Switch II pocket.Herein, we describe two fragment screening drug discovery campaigns that led to the identification of binding pockets on the KRAS G12C surface that have not previously been described.
