Abstract excerpt
Ras recruits and activates effectors that transmit receptor-initiated signals. Monomeric Ras can bind Raf; however, Raf's activation requires dimerization, which can be facilitated by Ras dimerization. Previously, we showed that active K-Ras4B dimerizes in silico and in vitro through two major interfaces: (i) β-interface, mapped to Switch I and effector-binding regions, (ii) α-interface at the allosteric lobe....
