Knock-in(g) RAF for a loop.
Phosphorylation of the activation loop in RAF kinases has been suggested to be critical for changes in activity. The extent to which the activation segment is phosphorylated, the specific structural consequences, and the in vivo relevance have however remained elusive. In this issue of the The EMBO Journal, Köhler et al (2016) addressed these questions by generating a knock-in mouse expressing ...
متن کامل“Knocking out” a Neural Circuit
Although the visual system occupies nearly half of the mammalian brain, we still do not completely understand its first synaptic stage. One reason is that the dendrites postsynaptic to photoreceptors comprise such a maze of fine processes that doubt remains whether all the second order circuits have been identified—even after 4 decades of electron microscopy. Now advanced functional methods app...
متن کاملActivation loop phosphorylation regulates B-Raf in vivo and transformation by B-Raf mutants.
Despite being mutated in cancer and RASopathies, the role of the activation segment (AS) has not been addressed for B-Raf signaling in vivo. Here, we generated a conditional knock-in mouse allowing the expression of the B-Raf(AVKA) mutant in which the AS phosphoacceptor sites T599 and S602 are replaced by alanine residues. Surprisingly, despite producing a kinase-impaired protein, the Braf(AVKA...
متن کاملa Comparative Theoretical Analysis for a Knitted Loop Model
The theory presented in this paper differs from previous ones in that no arbitrary loop shape is assumed. Rather a strophoid curve, that is similar to knitted fabric Loop shape, has been assumed as the basic mathematical function. Additionally, the theory is improved by adapting buckled elastic rod theory, leading to a new equation from a certain mathematical curve. This loop model is assumed t...
متن کاملRaf-induced transformation requires an interleukin 1 autocrine loop.
The c-Raf-1 serine/threonine protein kinase plays a critical role in the proliferation of most cell types that have been examined. As such, the Raf proto-oncogene is thought to play a central role in the development of human tumors. Although the c-raf-1 gene itself rarely appears to be mutated in human tumors, the kinase activity of Raf is frequently found to be more active in tumor cells, like...
