Ras-associating (RA) domain found in Ras-association domain-containing protein 1 (RASSF1)
RASSF1 is a member of a family of six related RASSF1-6 proteins (the classical RASSF proteins). RASSF1 has eight transcripts (A-H) arising from alternative splicing and differential promoter usage. With the exception of some minor splice variants (RASSF1F and RASSF1G), RASSF1 contains an RA domain and a C-terminal SARAH protein-protein interaction motif. The RA domain of the classical RASSF proteins has a beta-grasp ubiquitin-like fold with low sequence similarity to ubiquitin. The RA domain mediates interactions with Ras and other small GTPases, and the SARAH domain mediates protein-protein interactions crucial in the pathways that induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. RASSF1A and 1C are the most extensively studied RASSF1 with both localized to microtubules and involved in regulation of growth and migration.
