| 11 | The RAF family: an expanding network of post-translational controls and protein-protein interactions显示文摘Protein kinase RAF is strategically located in the 'Ras - MAP-kinase signal transduction pathway'. a principle system which transmits signals from growth factor receptors to the nucleus, resulting in cell proliferation.Growth factor responses are mediated in part by activation of Ras, which in turn activates RAF to phosphorylate MEK, its downstream substrate. MEK activates MAPkinase to influence nuclear events. It is clear, however,that a network of signals other than those carried by Ras plays a role in RAF regulation. These orthogonal influences are mediated by: serine/threonifle kinases, tyrosine kinases, and protein - protein interactions. As a further complication to the RAF network, three isoforms of RAF have been established which have divergent N-terminal regulatory domains. Whereas these divergent regulatory domains implicate isoform-specific functions, no clear evidence or hypothesis for distinct functions for individual isoforms has been presented. Recently, 'isoform-specific protein interactions' have been identified among numerous proteins interacting with RAF. These studies may serve to delineate independent functions for RAF isoforms. | YURYEV ANTON LAWRENCE P WENNOGLE (Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, Summit, NJ, USA ) | 1998 | Cell Research1998，8，2： | 0 |
