Background
The KRAS protein (Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog) is a small GTPase protein whose structure comprises a G-domain (responsible for GTP/GDP binding) and a hypervariable region. The G12D mutation refers to the substitution of glycine at position 12 (Gly12) with aspartic acid (Asp), which prevents GAP (GTPase-activating protein) from promoting GTP hydrolysis, thereby locking KRAS in a persistently GTP-bound "active" state. This leads to constitutive activation of downstream signaling pathways including RAF-MEK-ERK and PI3K-AKT, driving cellular proliferation, survival, and metabolic reprogramming. Clinically, KRAS G12D represents one of the most prevalent oncogenic mutations in pancreatic cancer (~40%), colorectal cancer, and lung cancer, and has historically been considered "undruggable." However, recent breakthroughs include the development of non-covalent inhibitors (binding the Switch II pocket via salt bridge formation), elucidation of synergistic tumorigenic mechanisms between PTEN loss and G12D, demonstration of G12D-induced immunosuppressive microenvironment conferring resistance to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, and discovery of G12D-specific stem cell reprogramming in lung adenocarcinoma, offering novel directions for precision-targeted therapies and combination immunotherapeutic strategies.
Protocol
Experimental Methods
Experimental Principle: The GTPase Glo™ assay evaluates KRAS activity by measuring the amount of GTP remaining after GTP hydrolysis in the KRAS reaction.
Experimental Materials
1.KRAS(G12D) His Tag Protein, Human
2.GTPase Glo™ Assay (Promega, Catalog # V7681T)
3.Solid white multi-well plate (384-well plate) (Corning, Catalog #3572)
4.Plate Reader (PerkinElmer)
Experimental Steps
1.Prepare a 2X GTP solution containing 10 µM GTP and 2 mM DTT using GTPase/GAP Buffer.
2.Dilute KRAS with GTPase/GAP Buffer to concentrations of 100 µg/mL, 80 µg/mL, and 60 µg/mL, then add 5 µL to each well of a 384-well plate.
3.Add 5 µL of the 2X GTP solution prepared in Step 1 to each well to initiate the reaction. Use 5 µL of GTPase/GAP Buffer mixed with the 2X GTP solution as a blank control. The total reaction volume is 10 µL.
4.Incubate the reaction at room temperature (22–25°C) for 30 minutes.
5.Gently invert and mix the thawed GTPase Glo™ Reagent, 500X; do not vortex. Depending on your needs, adjust the volumes of the following components proportionally to prepare the desired volume of reconstituted GTPase Glo™.
| Sample Name | Amount |
| GTPase Glo ™ Reagent, 500X | 2 μL |
| ADP, 10 mM | 0.5 μL |
| GTPase Glo™ Buffer | 998 μL |
| Total volume | 1 mL |
6.Add 10 µL of the reconstituted GTPase-Glo™ Reagent to the reaction mixture that has completed the reaction, mix briefly, and then incubate with shaking at room temperature (22–25°C) for 30 minutes.
7.Add 20 µL of the detection reagent, and incubate the microplate at room temperature (22–25°C) for 5–10 minutes.
8.Read the results in endpoint mode at an emission wavelength of 555 nm (luminescence).
9.Calculate the specific activity.
| Specific Activity (pmol/min/μg) = | (1 - Sample OD / Blank OD) * 50 pmol |
| Incubation time (min) × amount of enzyme (μg) |
Sample OD value: OD value of remaining ATP
Blank OD value: OD value after adding GTP
50 pmol: Amount of GTP added
Incubation time: 30 minutes
Enzyme amounts: 0.5 μg, 0.4 μg, and 0.3 μg
