C-terminal SARAH domain found in Ras-association domain-containing protein 4 (RASSF4); RASSF4 is one of six related proteins, the classical RASSF proteins (RASSF1-6), that contain a conserved RalGDS/AF6 Ras association (RA) domain located towards the C-terminus. It acts as a potential tumor suppressor that may promote apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. It also functions as a KRAS effector protein. RASSF4 is broadly expressed in normal tissues. Its expression is reduced in tumor cell lines and primary tumors by promoter specific hypermethylation. RASSF4 contains the RA and SARAH (Salvador-RassF-Hippo) domains. The RA domain of the classical RASSF proteins has a beta-grasp ubiquitin-like fold with low sequence similarity to ubiquitin. RA domains mediate interactions with Ras and other small GTPases, and SARAH domains mediate protein-protein interactions crucial in the pathways that induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. This model corresponds to the SARAH domain of RASSF4.

Ras-associating (RA) domain found in Ras-association domain family members, RASSF2, RASSF4, and RASSF6; The RASSF family of proteins shares a conserved RalGDS/AF6 RA domain either in the C-terminus (RASSF1-6) or N-terminus (RASSF7-10). The classical family members (RASSF1-6) contain a conserved SARAH (Salvador/RASSF/Hpo) motif adjacent to the RA domain that functions as scaffolding and regulatory interactions. The RA domain of the classical RASSF protein family has the beta-grasp ubiquitin-like fold with low sequence similarity to ubiquitin. Classical RASSF members interact either directly or indirectly with activated Ras. Ras proteins are small GTPases that are involved in cellular signal transduction. The classical RASSF protein family seem to modulate some of the growth inhibitory responses mediated by Ras and may serve as tumor suppressor genes. This family contains RASSF2, RASSF4, and RASSF6.

Ras-associating (RA) domain found in Ras-association domain-containing protein 6 (RASSF6); RASSF6 is a member of a family of six related classical RASSF1-6 proteins and is expressed as four transcripts via alternative splicing. All transcripts variant of RASSF6 contain the RA and SARAH domains. The RA domain of the classical RASSF protein family has the beta-grasp ubiquitin-like fold with low sequence similarity to ubiquitin. RA domains mediate interactions with Ras and other small GTPases, SARAH domains mediate protein-protein interactions crucial in the pathways that induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. RASSF6 is ubiquitiated and degraded by interacting with MDM2 to stabilize P53 and regulates apoptosis and cell cycle. RASSF6 is a tumor suppressor protein and is epigenetically silenced in childhood leukemia and neuroblastomas. Overexpression of RASSF6 causes apoptosis in HeLa cells.

Ras-associating (RA) domain found in Ras-association domain-containing protein 1 (RASSF1); RASSF1 is a member of a family of six related RASSF1-6 proteins (the classical RASSF proteins). RASSF1 has eight transcripts (A-H) arising from alternative splicing and differential promoter usage. With the exception of some minor splice variants (RASSF1F and RASSF1G), RASSF1 contains an RA domain and a C-terminal SARAH protein-protein interaction motif. The RA domain of the classical RASSF proteins has a beta-grasp ubiquitin-like fold with low sequence similarity to ubiquitin. The RA domain mediates interactions with Ras and other small GTPases, and the SARAH domain mediates protein-protein interactions crucial in the pathways that induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. RASSF1A and 1C are the most extensively studied RASSF1 with both localized to microtubules and involved in regulation of growth and migration.

It acts as a potential tumor suppressor that may promote apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. It is a KRAS-specific effector protein. It stabilizes STK3/MST2 by protecting it from proteasomal degradation. The RASSF2 gene is transcribed into two major isoforms (A and C).
