Activated HRAS (GTP bound forn) is associated with the plasma membrane.
Inactive RAF1 is associated in the cytoplasm with YWHAB via S259 phosphorylation site and also binding site.
RAF1 has a RAS-binding Cysteine-rich domain (CRD) and an additional RAS-binding domain (RBD).
RAF1 binds activated HRAS via the RBD. This binding displaces YWHAB from Ser259 and unmasks the CRD.
