Tumor growth going FAR with KRAS FARnesylation-induced phase separation

RAS at the plasma membrane relay signals from cell-surface receptors to intracellular pathways. In Cell , Wang et al. 1 show that farnesylation drives KRAS cytoplasmic condensation, contributing to its maturation. They identify statins as candidates to overcome resistance to KRAS-targeted therapies.

Abstract

RAS at the plasma membrane relay signals from cell-surface receptors to intracellular pathways. In Cell , Wang et al. 1 show that farnesylation drives KRAS cytoplasmic condensation, contributing to its maturation. They identify statins as candidates to overcome resistance to KRAS-targeted therapies.
