[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RASH_HUMAN RASH_HUMAN] Defects in HRAS are the cause of faciocutaneoskeletal syndrome (FCSS) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/218040 218040]. A rare condition characterized by prenatally increased growth, postnatal growth deficiency, mental retardation, distinctive facial appearance, cardiovascular abnormalities (typically pulmonic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and/or atrial tachycardia), tumor predisposition, skin and musculoskeletal abnormalities.<ref>PMID:16170316</ref> <ref>PMID:16329078</ref> <ref>PMID:16443854</ref> <ref>PMID:17054105</ref> <ref>PMID:18247425</ref> <ref>PMID:18039947</ref> <ref>PMID:19995790</ref>   Defects in HRAS are the cause of congenital myopathy with excess of muscle spindles (CMEMS) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/218040 218040]. CMEMS is a variant of Costello syndrome.<ref>PMID:17412879</ref>   Defects in HRAS may be a cause of susceptibility to Hurthle cell thyroid carcinoma (HCTC) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/607464 607464]. Hurthle cell thyroid carcinoma accounts for approximately 3% of all thyroid cancers. Although they are classified as variants of follicular neoplasms, they are more often multifocal and somewhat more aggressive and are less likely to take up iodine than are other follicular neoplasms.  Note=Mutations which change positions 12, 13 or 61 activate the potential of HRAS to transform cultured cells and are implicated in a variety of human tumors.  Defects in HRAS are a cause of susceptibility to bladder cancer (BLC) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/109800 109800]. A malignancy originating in tissues of the urinary bladder. It often presents with multiple tumors appearing at different times and at different sites in the bladder. Most bladder cancers are transitional cell carcinomas. They begin in cells that normally make up the inner lining of the bladder. Other types of bladder cancer include squamous cell carcinoma (cancer that begins in thin, flat cells) and adenocarcinoma (cancer that begins in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids). Bladder cancer is a complex disorder with both genetic and environmental influences.  Note=Defects in HRAS are the cause of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).<ref>PMID:1459726</ref>   Defects in HRAS are the cause of Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome (SFM) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/163200 163200]. A disease characterized by sebaceous nevi, often on the face, associated with variable ipsilateral abnormalities of the central nervous system, ocular anomalies, and skeletal defects. Many oral manifestations have been reported, not only including hypoplastic and malformed teeth, and mucosal papillomatosis, but also ankyloglossia, hemihyperplastic tongue, intraoral nevus, giant cell granuloma, ameloblastoma, bone cysts, follicular cysts, oligodontia, and odontodysplasia. Sebaceous nevi follow the lines of Blaschko and these can continue as linear intraoral lesions, as in mucosal papillomatosis.<ref>PMID:22683711</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
BACKGROUND: In numerous biological events the hydrolysis of guanine triphosphate (GTP) is a trigger to switch from the active to the inactive protein form. In spite of the availability of several high-resolution crystal structures, the details of the mechanism of nucleotide hydrolysis by GTPases are still unclear. This is partly because the structures of the proteins in their active states had to be determined in the presence of non-hydrolyzable GTP analogues (e.g. GppNHp). Knowledge of the structure of the true Michaelis complex might provide additional insights into the intrinsic protein hydrolysis mechanism of GTP and related nucleotides. RESULTS: The structure of the complex formed between p21(ras) and GTP has been determined by X-ray diffraction at 1.6 A using a combination of photolysis of an inactive GTP precursor (caged GTP) and rapid freezing (100K). The structure of this complex differs from that of p21(ras)-GppNHp (determined at 277K) with respect to the degree of order and conformation of the catalytic loop (loop 4 of the switch II region) and the positioning of water molecules around the gamma-phosphate group. The changes in the arrangement of water molecules were induced by the cryo-temperature technique. CONCLUSIONS: The results shed light on the function of Gln61 in the intrinsic GTP hydrolysis reaction. Furthermore, the possibility of a proton shuffling mechanism between two attacking water molecules and an oxygen of the gamma-phosphate group can be proposed for the basal GTPase mechanism, but arguments are presented that render this protonation mechanism unlikely for the GTPase activating protein (GAP)-activated GTPase.
