    Abstract

    Cyclic AMP (cAMP) blocks Raf-1 activation by stimulating its phosphorylation on serine 43 (Ser43), serine 233 (Ser233), and serine 259 (Ser259). We show here that phosphorylation of all three sites blocks Raf-1 binding to Ras.GTP in vivo and that cAMP stimulates binding of 14-3-3 proteins to Ser233 and Ser259. We also show that Raf-1 and protein kinase A (PKA) form a complex in vivo that is disrupted by cAMP and that ablation of PKA by use of small interfering RNA blocks phosphorylation by cAMP. The ability of PKA to block Raf-1 activation is ablated by the PKA inhibitor H89. These studies suggest that Raf-1 and cAMP form a signaling complex in cells. Upon activation of PKA, Raf-1 is phosphorylated and 14-3-3 binds, blocking Raf-1 recruitment to the plasma membrane and preventing its activation.
