Cyclic AMP Blocks Cell Growth through Raf-1-Dependent and Raf-1-Independent Mechanisms
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
It is widely accepted that cyclic AMP (cAMP) can block cell growth by phosphorylating Raf-1 on serine 43 and inhibiting signaling to extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase. We show that the suppression of Raf-1 by cAMP is considerably more complex than previously reported. When cellular cAMP is elevated, Raf-1 is phosphorylated on three residues (S43, S233, and S259), which work independently to block...
