Ras interacts with many downstream effectors that regulate complex cytoplasmic signaling
networks. In this issue, Gupta et al.(2007) use mouse models of Ras-mediated
tumorigenesis to show that the interaction of Ras with a single isoform of
phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), called p110α (PIK3CA), is critical for tumor formation.
This result will stimulate re-evaluation of pharmacological approaches to target Ras for
cancer treatment.
