Raf kinase is a proto-oncogene that links activated cell surface receptors to ERK1/2 by MEK phosphorylation.
The activity of Raf-kinase is subject to intricate regulatory mechanisms, that includes control mediated by Ras, reversible Ser/Thr and Tyr phosphorylation, and 14-3-3 interactions.
Current models for Raf regulation suggest that differential phosphorylation and 14-3-3 association allows for intrasteric inhibition of the C-terminal active kinase domain by the conserved N-terminal regulatory domain of Raf-1.
