Methods: In this study, we used mutagenesis, peptide affinity assay, immunoprecipitation, immunoblot, and complementary split luciferase assay as well as mouse xenograft tumour model to investigate how the function of RAF is cooperatively regulated by Cdc37/Hsp90 chaperones and 14-3-3 scaffolds and how this regulatory machinery is evaded by prevalent non-V600 mutations. This evidence concerns the gene RAF1 and neoplasm.
