Abstract
The Ras proteins are well-known drivers of many cancers and thus represent attractive targets for the development of anticancer therapeutics. Inhibitors that disrupt the association of the Ras proteins with membranes by blocking the addition of the farnesyl lipid moiety to the Ras C-terminus failed in clinical trials. Here, we explore the possibility of targeting a second lipid modification, S-acylation, commonly referred to as palmitoylation, as a strategy to disrupt the membrane interaction of specific Ras isoforms. We review the enzymes involved in adding and removing palmitate from Ras and discuss their potential roles in regulating Ras tumorigenesis. In addition, we examine other proteins that affect Ras protein localization and may serve as future drug targets.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
