Structural insights into isoform-specific RAS-PI3Kα interactions and the role of RAS in PI3Kα activation

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in RAS and PI3Kα are major drivers of human cancer. Their interaction plays a crucial role in activating PI3Kα and amplifying the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway. Disrupting RAS-PI3Kα interaction enhances survival in lung and skin cancer models and reduces tumor growth and angiogenesis, although the structural details of this interaction remain unclear. Here, we present structures of KRAS, RRAS2, and MRAS bound...
