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, 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.

Functions

Description
EC Number 2.7.11.1 Protein-serine/threonine kinases
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
  • Retinoic acid-induced Ser-621 phosphorylated form of RAF1 is predominantly localized at the nucleus (By similarity)

4 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
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.

5 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
ATP binding Binding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.
metal ion binding Binding to a metal ion.
protein serine kinase activity Catalysis of the reactions: ATP + protein serine = ADP + protein serine phosphate.
protein serine/threonine kinase activity Catalysis of the reactions: ATP + protein serine = ADP + protein serine phosphate, and ATP + protein threonine = ADP + protein threonine phosphate.
protein serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase activity Catalysis of the reactions: ATP + a protein serine = ADP + protein serine phosphate; ATP + a protein threonine = ADP + protein threonine phosphate; and ATP + a protein tyrosine = ADP + protein tyrosine phosphate.

1 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
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.
