Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides compositions and methods for binding Ras in a nucleotide free state (apo RAS) and inhibiting Ras signaling. In one embodiment, the invention provides monobodies that specifically bind apo RAS and methods of use. Thus, in diseases and conditions where a reduction of Ras signaling is beneficial, such inhibitory compositions act as therapeutics.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A composition comprising at least one molecule comprising a monobody domain that selectively binds RAS in a nucleotide free state (apo RAS) but not RAS in the nucleotide-bound state, wherein the monobody domain comprises a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1-6. 2 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a fusion protein fused to the monobody domain or a peptide comprising the monobody domain. 3 . The composition of claim 2 , wherein the fusion protein comprising a monobody domain further comprises a therapeutic agent or a detection moiety. 4 . An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding the molecule of claim 1 that selectively binds apo RAS but does not bind to nucleotide-bound RAS. 5 . An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid molecule of claim 4 . 6 . A host cell comprising the nucleic acid molecule of claim 4 .
