The RAS oncogenes KRAS, NRAS and HRAS are mutated in one third of human cancers where they exhibit different mutation patterns. A potential factor contributing to this mutation bias is the variation of RAS expression levels. Here, I investigate some of the determinants of RAS protein abundance. First, I examine whether codon bias among RAS genes and within other cancer gene families plays a role in cell context-specific expression. I further describe a tRNA expression program that favors oncogene translation in proliferating cells. Second, I investigate why oncogenic RAS mutants exhibit a higher protein abundance than the RAS wild type. In this context, I study the underlying mechanisms leading to this variation and more specifically how pr...
