KRAS insertion mutations are oncogenic and exhibit distinct functional properties

Amino acid substitutions in K-Ras that constitutively activate the protein are common in cancer. Here, the authors describe mutations in the K-RasSwitch 2 domain and show that the mutant proteins accumulate in the active conformation, exhibit defective binding to PI3 kinase, and are hypersensitive t...
