RAS specific protease induces irreversible growth arrest via p27 in several KRAS mutant colorectal cancer cell lines
Abstract Ras-specific proteases to degrade RAS within cancer cells are under active development as an innovative strategy to treat tumorigenesis. The naturally occurring biological toxin effector called RAS/RAP1-specific endopeptidase (RRSP) is known to cleave all RAS within a cell, including HRAS,...
