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.

Novel Ras effector 1 C-terminal SARAH (Sav/Rassf/Hpo) domain; The Nore1-SARAH, C-terminal, domain of Nore1, the tumour-suppressor, a novel Ras effector, has a characteriztic coiled-coil structure. It is a small helical module that is important in signal-transduction networks. The recombinant SARAH domain of Nore1 crystallizes as an anti-parallel homodimer with representative characteriztics of coiled coils. The central function of the SARAH domain seems to be the mediation of homo- and hetero-oligomerization between SARAH domain-containing proteins. Nore1 forms homo- and hetero complexes through its C-terminal SARAH (Sav/Rassf/Hpo) domain.

C-terminal SARAH domain found in scaffold protein salvador (Sav), Ras-association domain proteins, and mammalian STE20-like protein kinases (MST); The SARAH (Salvador-RassF-Hippo) domain family includes scaffold protein salvador (Sav), Ras-association domain proteins (RASSF1-6), and mammalian STE20-like protein kinase (MST) subfamily members (MST1-2 and Hippo). Sav is a scaffold protein mainly found in metazoans. Drosophila melanogaster Sav, also called Shar-pei (SHRP), promotes both cell cycle exit and apoptosis in Drosophila. It plays a key role in the Hippo/SWH (Sav/Wts/Hpo) signaling pathway. Human protein salvador homolog 1, also called 45 kDa WW domain protein (WW45), acts as a mammalian sterile 20-like kinase 1 (MST1)-binding protein required to enhance MST1-mediated apoptosis. It is a regulator of STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1 in the Hippo signaling pathway. Classical RASSF proteins interact either directly or indirectly with activated Ras. Ras proteins are small GTPases that are involved in cellular signal transduction. They seem to modulate some of the growth inhibitory responses mediated by Ras and may serve as tumor suppressor genes. RASSF1-6 contains a conserved SARAH motif adjacent to the RA domain that functions in scaffolding and regulatory interactions. MST1/2 and Hippo are involved in a conserved pathway that governs cell contact inhibition, organ size control, and tumor development. MST1 and MST2 are STE20 family stress-activated, pro-apoptotic serine/threonine-protein kinases which, following caspase-cleavage, enter the nucleus and induces chromatin condensation followed by internucleosomal DNA fragmentation. They are key components of the Hippo signaling pathway which plays a pivotal role in organ size control and tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. Hippo (Hpo), also called STE20-like kinase MST (dMST), is the Drosophila homolog of STE20-like protein kinases, MST1 and MST2. It is a STE20 family serine/threonine-protein kinase that functions as a tumor suppressor by restricting cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis in conjunction with salvador and warts. Hpo also plays a key role in the Hippo/SWH signaling pathway. This model corresponds to the C-terminal SARAH domain, a characteristic coiled-coil structure. It is a small helical module that is important in signal-transduction networks. The central function of the SARAH domain seems to be the mediation of homo- and heterodimerization between SARAH domain-containing proteins.

Ras-associating (RA) domain found in Ras-association domain-containing protein 2 (RASSF2); RASSF2 is a member of a family of six related classical RASSF1-6 proteins. The RASSF2 gene is transcribed into two major isoforms (A and C). RASSF2 is structurally related to RASSF1A but unlike RASSF1A It is primarily a nuclear protein. RASSF2 contains the RA and SARAH domains. The RA domain of the classical RASSF protein family has the beta-grasp ubiquitin-like fold with low sequence similarity to ubiquitin. RA domains mediate interactions with Ras and other small GTPases, and SARAH domains mediate protein-protein interactions crucial in the pathways that induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. RASSF2 is inactivated in different cancers and cancer cell lines by promoter methylation and loss of expression, implicating the correlation and significance of RASSF2 in tumorigenesis. In addition to regulating apoptosis and proliferation RASSF2 may have other functions as RASSF2 knockout mice develop normally for the first two weeks but then develop growth retardation and die 4 weeks after birth.

Ras-associating (RA) domain found in the fungal adaptor protein STE50; The fungal adaptor protein STE50 is an essential component of three MAPK-mediated signaling pathways that control the mating response, invasive/filamentous growth and osmotolerance (HOG pathway), respectively. STE50 functions in cell signaling between the activated G protein and STE11. The domain architecture of STE50 includes an amino-terminal SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain in addition to the carboxy-terminal ubiquitin-like RA (RAS-associated) domain. RA domain of STE50 interacts with the small GTPase Cdc42p, a member of Rho type of the Ras superfamily. This interaction activates Ste11p/Ste7p/Kss1pMAP kinase cascade that controls filamentous growth. RA domain has the beta-grasp ubiquitin-like (Ubl) fold with low sequence similarity to ubiquitin (Ub). Ub is a protein modifier in eukaryotes that is involved in various cellular processes including transcriptional regulation, cell cycle control, and DNA repair in eukaryotes.
