Activation of the Raf-1/MAP kinase cascade is not sufficient for Ras transformation of RIE-1 epithelial cells.
9 Jul 1996
Abstract excerpt
The potent transforming activity of membrane-targeted Raf-1 (Raf-CAAX) suggests that Ras transformation is triggered primarily by a Ras-mediated translocation of Raf-1 to the plasma membrane. However, whereas constitutively activated mutants of Ras [H-Ras(61L) and K-Ras4B(12V)] and Raf-1 (DeltaRaf-22W and Raf-CAAX) caused indistinguishable morphologic and growth (in soft agar and nude mice) transformation of NIH...
