Analysis of correlated mutations in Ras G-domain.
Bioinformation 2017
Ras GTPases are most prevalent proto-oncogenes in human cancer. Mutations in Ras remain untreatable more than three decades after the initial discovery. At the amino acid level, some residues under physical or functional constraints exhibit correlated mutations also known as coevolving/covariant residues. Revealing intra-molecular co-evolution between amino acid sites of proteins has become an emerging area of research as it enlightens the importance of variable regions. Here, I have identified and analyzed the coevolving residues in the Ras GTP binding domain (G-domain). The obtained covariant residue position data correlate well with the known experimental data on functionally important residues. Therefore, it is of interest to understand these residue co-variations for designing protein engineering experiments and target oncogenic Ras GTPases.
