A/C drug treatment induces RAF dimerization and ERK activation. Cells transfected with the indicated plasmids were treated as indicated and proteins were analysed by Western blotting. Western blots were quantified by Image J. (A) A/C induces efficient heterodimerization between RAF1 + BRAF and RAF1 + BRAFV600E. IP, immunoprecipitation. Co-precipitating BRAF or BRAFV600E bands were normalized to the respective RAF1 bands. The V5-FRB + Flag-FKBP bands were normalized to background. n.d., not determined. (B) RAF heterodimerization induces similar levels of ERK activity (ppERK) as treatment with epidermal growth factor (EGF). Normalised ERK activation (ratio ppERK/ERK) is shown below the ERK blot.
