Comprehensive structure-function analysis reveals gain- and loss-of-function mechanisms impacting oncogenic KRAS activity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract To dissect variant-function relationships in the KRAS oncoprotein, we performed deep mutational scanning (DMS) screens for both wild-type and KRAS G12D mutant alleles. We defined the spectrum of oncogenic potential for nearly all possible KRAS variants, identifying several novel transforming alleles and elucidating a model to describe the frequency of KRAS mutations in human cancer as a function of transforming potential, mutational probability, and tissue-specific mutational signatures. Biochemical and structural analyses of variants identified in a KRAS G12D second-site suppressor DMS screen revealed that attenuation of oncogenic KRAS can be mediated by protein instability and conformational rigidity, resulting in reduced binding affinity to effector proteins, such as RAF and PI3-kinases, or reduced SOS-mediated nucleotide exchange activity. These studies define the landscape of single amino acid alterations that modulate the function of KRAS, providing a resource for the clinical interpretation of KRAS variants and elucidating mechanisms of oncogenic KRAS inactivation for therapeutic exploitation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
