Abstract excerpt
Proper localization of Ras proteins at the plasma membrane (PM) is crucial for their functions. To get to the PM, KRas4B and some other Ras family proteins bind to the PDEδ shuttling protein through their farnesylated hypervariable regions (HVRs). The docking of their farnesyl (and to a lesser extent geranylgeranyl) in the hydrophobic pocket of PDEδ's stabilizes the interaction. At the PM, guanosine...
