Function

Serine/threonine-protein kinase that acts as a regulatory link between the membrane-associated Ras GTPases and the MAPK/ERK cascade, and this critical regulatory link functions as a switch determining cell fate decisions including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, survival and oncogenic transformation. RAF1 activation initiates a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade that comprises a sequential phosphorylation of the dual-specific MAPK kinases (MAP2K1/MEK1 and MAP2K2/MEK2) and the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (MAPK3/ERK1 and MAPK1/ERK2). The phosphorylated form of RAF1 (on residues Ser-338 and Ser-339, by PAK1) phosphorylates BAD/Bcl2-antagonist of cell death at 'Ser-75'. Phosphorylates adenylyl cyclases: ADCY2, ADCY5 and ADCY6, resulting in their activation. Phosphorylates PPP1R12A resulting in inhibition of the phosphatase activity. Phosphorylates TNNT2/cardiac muscle troponin T. Can promote NF-kB activation and inhibit signal transducers involved in motility (ROCK2), apoptosis (MAP3K5/ASK1 and STK3/MST2), proliferation and angiogenesis (RB1). Can protect cells from apoptosis also by translocating to the mitochondria where it binds BCL2 and displaces BAD/Bcl2-antagonist of cell death. Regulates Rho signaling and migration, and is required for normal wound healing. Plays a role in the oncogenic transformation of epithelial cells via repression of the TJ protein, occludin (OCLN) by inducing the up-regulation of a transcriptional repressor SNAI2/SLUG, which induces down-regulation of OCLN. Restricts caspase activation in response to selected stimuli, notably Fas stimulation, pathogen-mediated macrophage apoptosis, and erythroid differentiation.

Supplementary info

Activity summary

Raf1 also known as c-Raf or Raf-1 is a serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays an important role in cell division differentiation and survival. Its molecular weight is approximately 74 kDa. Raf1 is part of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway and is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues including the brain heart and liver. As a component of the signaling cascade its activation translates extracellular signals into intracellular responses.

Biological function summary

Raf1 regulates important cellular processes by activating downstream kinases in response to external stimuli. Raf1 forms a complex with other proteins such as Ras facilitating its role as an essential component of the MAPK/ERK pathway. Upon activation by Ras Raf1 phosphorylates and activates MEK1 and MEK2 which in turn activate the ERK1 and ERK2. This signaling axis is involved in controlling gene expression and cellular proliferation.

Pathways

Raf1 is integrally involved in the MAPK/ERK pathway which is critical for transducing signals from growth factors and mitogens. It relates closely with proteins such as Ras MEK and ERK in this pathway. The pathway is important for regulating cellular responses to various stimuli and is particularly involved in processes such as cell cycle control and apoptosis.

Associated diseases and disorders

Raf1 has associations with certain types of cancer and Noonan syndrome. In various cancers mutations or dysregulation of Raf1 or related components such as Ras can lead to uncontrolled cellular proliferation. In Noonan syndrome Raf1 mutations result in anomalies in the Ras/MAPK pathway which can impact normal development. Raf1’s interactions in these pathways indicate its relevance as a potential target for therapeutic intervention.
