Normal and oncogenic p21ras proteins bind to the amino-terminal regulatory domain of c-Raf-1

Nature volume 364, pages 308–313 (1993)Cite this article

Abstract

In higher eukaryotes, the Ras and Raf-1 proto-oncoproteins transduce growth and differentiation signals initiated by tyrosine kinases. The Ras polypeptide and the amino-terminal regulatory domain of Raf-1(residues 1–257) are shown to interact, directly in vitro and in a yeast expression system. Raf-1(1-257) binds GTP-Ras in preference to GDP-Ras, and inhibits Ras-GAP activity. Mutations in and around the Ras effector domain impair Ras binding to Raf-1(1-257) and Ras transforming activity in parallel.
