A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

The proteins of the RAF family (A-RAF, B-RAF, and C-RAF) are serine/threonine kinases that play important roles in development, mature cell regulation, and cancer. Although it is widely held that their localization on membranes is an important aspect of their function, there are few data that address this aspect of their mode of action. Here, we report that each member of the RAF family exhibits a specific distribution at the level of cellular membranes and that C-RAF is the only isoform that directly targets mitochondria. We found that the RAF kinases exhibit intrinsic differences in terms of mitochondrial affinity and that C-RAF is the only isoform that binds this organelle efficiently. This affinity is conferred by the C-RAF amino-terminal domain and does not depend on the presence of RAS GTPases on the surface of mitochondria. Finally, we analyzed the consequences of C-RAF activation on mitochondria and observed that this event dramatically changes their morphology and their subcellular distribution. Our observations indicate that: (i) RAF kinases exhibit different localizations at the level of cellular membranes; (ii) C-RAF is the only isoform that directly binds mitochondria; and (iii) through its functional coupling with MEK, C-RAF regulates the shape and the cellular distribution of mitochondria.
