Inhibition of the MAPK pathway induces re-localization of membranous proteins, leading to adaptive resistance to KRAS G12C inhibitor mediated by YAP-induced MRAS
Yuta Adachi and Hiromichi Ebi describe their work uncovering a non-genetic resistance mechanism to KRAS G12C inhibitors involving the mis-localization of scribble, which induces YAP-mediated MRAS expression and reactivates MAPK signaling.

New type of bifunctional molecules perturb K-Ras interactions with membranes
Drs. Johannes Morstein and Kevan Shokat describe their new and unique bifunctional drugs that bind to both KRAS and the plasma membrane.

KRAS somatic cancer-driver mutations in endometriosis without cancer: towards a molecular classification for endometriosis?
Drs. Yong, Orr, and Anglesio discuss how they found KRAS mutations—usually seen in cancer—in endometriosis tissue.
-
Oncogene turned bystander - How molecular context shapes KRas oncogenicity
Olesja Popow and Kevin Haigis share their insight into the persistent question of why KRAS mutations drive cancers in some tissues and not in others.
