Abstract

Ras GTPases regulate many developmental and physiological processes and mutations in Ras are associated with numerous human cancers. Here, we report the function, levels, and localization of an N-terminal knock-in of mNeonGreen (mNG) into C. elegans LET-60 /Ras. mNG:: LET-60 interferes with some but not all LET-60 /Ras functions. mNG:: LET-60 is broadly present in tissues, found at different levels in cells, and concentrates in distinct subcellular compartments, including the nucleolus, nucleus, intracellular region, and plasma membrane. These results suggest that mNG:: LET-60 can be a useful tool for determining LET-60 levels and localization once its functionality in a developmental or physiological process is established.
