Abstract excerpt
Ras interacts with Raf-1 and stimulates its kinase activity, which results in activation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade. It has been proposed that the main function of Ras in Raf-1 activation is to recruit Raf-1 to the plasma membrane, where a separate activation event such as phosphorylation takes place. Here, we examined the activities of various mutants of human Ha-Ras to induce membrane...
