Abstract excerpt
Full activation of Raf-1 requires the interaction of its CRD with Ras. The serine/threonine-rich region, CR2, of Raf-1 was implicated in Raf-1 regulation, but the underlying mechanism was unclear. Here we show that CRD loses its Ras-binding activity when expressed in connection with CR2, suggesting that CR2 masks CRD. This masking effect is abolished by substitution of Asp or Ala for Ser-259, a growth factor- and...
