Abstract

The c-Raf-1 protein kinase plays a critical role in intracellular signaling downstream from many tyrosine kinase and G-protein-linked receptors. c-Raf-1 binds to the proto-oncogene Ras in a GTP-dependent manner, but the exact mechanism of activation of c-Raf-1 by Ras is still unclear. We have established a system to study the activation of c-Raf-1 in vitro. This involves mixing membranes from cells expressing oncogenic H-RasG12V, with cytosol from cells expressing epitope-tagged full-length wild-type c-Raf-1. This results in a fraction of the c-Raf-1 binding to the membranes and a concomitant 10- to 20-fold increase in specific activity. Ras was the only component in these membranes required for activation, as purified recombinant farnesylated K-Ras.GTP, but not non-farnesylated K-Ras.GTP or farnesylated K-Ras.GDP, was able to activate c-Raf-1 to the same degree as intact H-RasG12V membranes. The most potent activation occurred under conditions in which phosphorylation was prohibited. Under phosphorylation-permissive conditions, activation of c-Raf-1 by Ras was substantially inhibited. Consistent with the results from other groups, we find that the activation of c-Raf-1 by Src in vivo occurs concomitant with tyrosine phosphoryl...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.
