PG - 7503-7513 LID - 10.1021/acs.jpcb.8b04347 [doi] AB - Proper localization of Ras proteins at the plasma membrane (PM) is crucial for their functions. To get to the PM, KRas4B and some other Ras family proteins bind to the PDEdelta shuttling protein through their farnesylated hypervariable regions (HVRs). The docking of their farnesyl (and to a lesser extent geranylgeranyl) in the hydrophobic pocket of PDEdelta's stabilizes the interaction. At the PM, guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP)-bound Arf-like protein 2 (Arl2) assists in the release of Ras from the PDEdelta. However, exactly how is still unclear. Using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, we unraveled the detailed mechanism of Arl2-mediated release of KRas4B, the most abundant oncogenic Ras isoform, from PDEdelta. We simulated ternary Arl2-PDEdelta-KRas4B HVR complexes and observed that Arl2 binding weakens the PDEdelta-farnesylated HVR interaction. Our detailed analysis showed that allosteric changes (involving beta6 of PDEdelta and additional PDEdelta residues) compress the hydrophobic PDEdelta pocket and push the HVR out. Mutating PDEdelta residues that mediate allosteric changes in PDEdelta terminates the release process. Mutant Ras proteins are enriched in human cancers, with currently no drugs in the clinics. This mechanistic account may inspire efforts to develop drugs suppressing oncogenic KRas4B release.
