ABSTRACT
RAS GTPases bind effectors to convert upstream cues to changes in cellular function. Effectors of classical H/K/NRAS are defined by RBD/RA domains which recognize the GTP-bound conformation of these GTPases, yet the specificity of RBD/RAs for over 160 RAS superfamily proteins remains poorly explored. We have systematically mapped interactions between BRAF and four RASSF effectors, the largest family of RA-containing proteins, with all RAS, RHO and ARF small GTPases. 39 validated complexes reveal plasticity in RASSF binding, while BRAF demonstrates tight specificity for classical H/K/NRAS. Complex between RASSF5 and diverse RAS GTPases at the plasma membrane can activate Hippo signalling and sequester YAP in the cytosol. RASSF8 undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation and resides in YAP-associated membraneless condensates, which also engage several RAS and RHO GTPases. The poorly studied RASSF3 has been identified as a first potential effector of mitochondrial MIRO proteins, and its co-expression with these GTPases impacts mitochondria and peroxisome distribution. These data reveal the complex nature of GTPase-effector interactions and show their systematic elucidation can reveal completely novel and biologically relevant cellular processes.
