Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Three papers in Cell and Nature now report that dimeric RAF is a plastic enzyme: blocking one ATP-binding site paradoxically stimulates the kinase activity of the other protomer. This occurs only in "primed" cells bearing activated RAS and WT RAF, explaining the selective efficacy of RAF inhibitors for RAF mutant cells.
