Official Symbol: let-60
Official Full Name: Ras protein let-60
Primary source: WormBase:WBGene00002335
Locus tag: CELE_ZK792.6
See related: AllianceGenome:WB:WBGene00002335
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans (strain: Bristol N2)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Nematoda; Chromadorea; Rhabditida; Rhabditina; Rhabditomorpha; Rhabditoidea; Rhabditidae; Peloderinae; Caenorhabditis
Summary: Enables GTP binding activity; phospholipase binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; positive regulation of receptor localization to synapse; and positive regulation of vulval development. Located in cell cortex. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; head neurons; pharyngeal cell; vulval cell; and vulval precursor cell. Used to study RASopathy and cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Noonan syndrome (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and high grade glioma (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including HRAS (HRas proto-oncogene, GTPase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

ROS regulation of RAS and vulva development in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Title: ROS regulation of RAS and vulva development in Caenorhabditis elegans.
We conclude that RAP-1 is a positive regulator that promotes Ras-dependent inductive fate decisions. We hypothesize that PXF-1 activation of RAP-1 serves as a minor parallel input into the major LET-60/Ras signal through LIN-45/Raf
Title: Ras-Dependent Cell Fate Decisions Are Reinforced by the RAP-1 Small GTPase in Caenorhabditiselegans.
Expression of activated LET-60/Ras in the neighboring duct cell, but not in the G1 or G2 cells, is sufficient to rescue sos-1 delamination defects, revealing that Ras acts non-cell-autonomously to permit G1 delamination.
Title: A non-cell-autonomous role for Ras signaling in C. elegans neuroblast delamination.
BET-1 as a Sumo-dependent attenuator of LET-60-mediated signalling and our characterisation suggests that BET-1 can be sumoylated.
Title: An RNAi-based dimorphic genetic screen identified the double bromodomain protein BET-1 as a sumo-dependent attenuator of RAS-mediated signalling.
Canal cell asymmetry and let-60/Ras signaling influence which of two equivalent precursors will attach to the canal cell.
Title: Notch and Ras promote sequential steps of excretory tube development in C. elegans.
LET-60 (Ras) is identified as a critical RGEF-1b substrate-effector in sensory neurons.
Title: A RasGRP, C. elegans RGEF-1b, couples external stimuli to behavior by activating LET-60 (Ras) in sensory neurons.
Goa-1 Goalpha and let-60 Ras act in parallel to gpc-1 in olfactory pathway.

LET-60 Ras GTPase might act with FLI-1 to control germ line morphogenesis

Data show that an activated Ras mutation, let-60, weakly suppresses constitutive dauer diapause in daf-2 and age-1 (PI3K) mutants.
