[Marra MA] Developmental arrest stage 7 days after egg lay at room temperature: s2336 homozygote = L3 larva; s2336/sDf10 = L2 larva
[C.elegansII] s59 : mid-larval lethal (leaky, escapers non-Vul). OA>10 (recessive): s1124 (strongest allele, both homozygote and hemizygote arrest as rod-like early larva; rare escapers die as Vul adult), s2336 (homozygote L3 arrest, hemizygote L2 arrest), s1155, n2021 (viable, 14% Vul), etc. Weak lf mutations have mating defects.Also dominant negative alleles, OA8: sy93dm (dominant Vul, viable), sy99 (dominant Vul,recessive lethal), sy92 (weaker dominant, recessive lethal), etc.Also gf alleles, OA>5: n1046sd,amb (pka lin-34, non-null; adult hermaphrodite Muv(penetrance 57%), normal vulva with one to three large additional protrusions; n1046/+17% Muv. ES2. Male gross morphology wildtype, ME1),n1700, sy130 (all identical to n1046), ga89ts(at 25C 57% Muv, near-sterile, ME0). Cloned: encodes 143 aa ras protein. let-60:lacZ fusion indicates complex developmental expression, multiple functions. Extensive molecular and developmental analysis.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionlet-60 encodes a member of the GTP-binding RAS protooncogene family; let-60 activity is required for viability, vulval development, spicule development, germ line meiotic progression, posterior development of the hypodermis, chemotaxis, sex myoblast migration, and muscle membrane extension; let-60 acts genetically downstream of let-23 with respect to vulval development and upstream of the MAPK pathway with respect to chemotaxis; let-60 is expressed in neural, muscle, and hypodermal lineages.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001355

Automated_descriptionEnables 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. Expressed in several structures, including gonad; head neurons; pharyngeal muscle cell; vulval cell; and vulval precursor cell. Used to study RASopathy and prostate cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; carcinoma (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and malignant astrocytoma (multiple). Is an ortholog of human HRAS (HRas proto-oncogene, GTPase).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceMutations in the human ortholog of elegans ras-1, the oncogene RRAS2, are associated with ovarian carcinoma; Also, pathogenesis studies of the human fungal pathogen, Cryptococcus neoformans, using C. elegans as a substitute host, indicate that mutants for several neoformans genes, including ras1 are hypo-virulent, implicating these genes in pathogenesis.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00027034
