Descriptions

Raf proteins are Ras-regulated serine/threonine protein kinases that control the activation of the ERK/MARK cascade, and consists of three isoforms, A-Raf, B-Raf, and Raf-1 (C-Raf), which exhibit a high degree of homology within three conserved regions (CR) known as CR1, CR2, and CR3. In studies with human RAF1 (P04049), when the catalytic domain of Raf-1 is expressed alone, it exhibits a constutive activity. Raf-1 is regulated by an N-terminal autoinhibitory domain including RBD and CRD domains. The autoinhibitory region blocks the catalytic kinase domain (CR3) and the autoinhibition is interrupted by the interaction with Ras.

Subcellular Localization
  • Cytoplasm
  • Cell membrane
  • Mitochondrion
  • Nucleus
  • Colocalizes with RGS14 and BRAF in both the cytoplasm and membranes
  • Phosphorylation at Ser-259 impairs its membrane accumulation
  • Recruited to the cell membrane by the active Ras protein
  • Phosphorylation at Ser-338 and Ser-339 by PAK1 is required for its mitochondrial localization

7 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
Golgi apparatus A membrane-bound cytoplasmic organelle of the endomembrane system that further processes the core oligosaccharides (e.g. N-glycans) added to proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and packages them into membrane-bound vesicles. The Golgi apparatus operates at the intersection of the secretory, lysosomal, and endocytic pathways.
mitochondrion A semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration.
nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
pseudopodium A temporary protrusion or retractile process of a cell, associated with flowing movements of the protoplasm, and serving for locomotion and feeding.

25 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
activation of adenylate cyclase activity Any process that initiates the activity of the inactive enzyme adenylate cyclase.
cell differentiation The process in which relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state.
cellular glucose homeostasis A cellular homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of glucose within a cell or between a cell and its external environment.
death-inducing signaling complex assembly A process of protein complex assembly in which the arrangement and bonding together of the set of components that form the protein complex is mediated by a death domain (DD) interaction, as part of the extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway.
face development The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a face from an initial condition to its mature state. The face is the ventral division of the head.
heart development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the heart over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood.
insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus The regulated release of proinsulin from secretory granules (B granules) in the B cells of the pancreas; accompanied by cleavage of proinsulin to form mature insulin, in response to a glucose stimulus.
intermediate filament cytoskeleton organization A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures comprising intermediate filaments and their associated proteins.
intracellular signal transduction The process in which a signal is passed on to downstream components within the cell, which become activated themselves to further propagate the signal and finally trigger a change in the function or state of the cell.
MAPK cascade An intracellular protein kinase cascade containing at least a MAPK, a MAPKK and a MAP3K. The cascade can also contain an additional tiers: the upstream MAP4K. The kinases in each tier phosphorylate and activate the kinase in the downstream tier to transmit a signal within a cell.
