Activation of MAP Kinase Pathway by Polyisoprenylated Cysteinyl Amide Inhibitors Causes Apoptosis and Disrupts Breast Cancer Cell Invasion
Published 2024-02-01“…RASA1, a RAS-GAP or GTPase-activating protein whose activity inhibits RAS signaling, is downregulated in up to 77% of TNBC cases. As such, RAS proteins become hyperactive and similar in effect to mutant hyperactive RAS proteins with impaired GTPase activities. …”

Macropinocytosis of protein is an amino acid supply route in Ras-transformed cells
Published 2014“…Macropinocytosis is a highly conserved endocytic process by which extracellular fluid and its contents are internalized into cells through large, heterogeneous vesicles known as macropinosomes. Oncogenic Ras proteins have been shown to stimulate macropinocytosis but the functional contribution of this uptake mechanism to the transformed phenotype remains unknown1, 2, 3. …”
