RNA promotes MAPK signaling through direct interaction with BRAF
RNAs are increasingly recognized as direct regulators of protein function, yet whether RNA can control the activation of signaling kinases remains poorly understood. Here we identify RNA as a direct regulator of BRAF, a central kinase in the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK (MAPK) pathway. Using complementary crosslinking and RNA-protein interaction approaches, we show that BRAF directly binds RNA in cells and…
