Abstract excerpt
Mutations in NRAS promote tumorigenesis and drug resistance. As this protein is often considered an undruggable target, it is urgent to develop novel strategies to suppress NRAS for anticancer therapy. Recent reports indicated that a G-quadruplex (G4) structure formed in the untranslated region of NRAS mRNA can downregulate NRAS translation, suggesting a potential NRAS suppression strategy. Here, we developed a...
