LZTR1 Interaction with RAS GTPases Provides Insight into RAS Degradation

  • LZTR1 targets GDP-bound RAS proteins for degradation via the Cul3 ubiquitin ligase
  • Loss of LZTR1 in cancer increases Rit1 and other RAS proteins, sustaining MAPK signaling
  • Harnessing LZTR1 offers a potential strategy to degrade oncogenic RAS therapeutically
