Abstract excerpt
The atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) gene is activated in cardiac myocytes by Ras and its effector Raf. However, MEK, the best-characterized Raf substrate, cannot efficiently activate ANF suggesting that Raf uses a MEK-independent pathway to activate ANF. By manipulating MEK and Raf activities so that they are equally effective at activating ERK, we now demonstrate that Raf activates at least two signaling...
