In unstimulated cells, 

Raf is phosphorylated by several cytosolic kinases on two sites:

1. Serine/threonine kinase domain 

2. N-terminal autoinhibitory domain

Molecular Handcuff 

Phosphorylation of Raf is recognize by protein 14-3-3 dimer, which locks the autoinhibitory domain in a position where it blocks and inhibits the kinase active site

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

Active Ras⋅GTP binds to the N-terminal autoinhibitory domain of Raf, altering its conformation and allowing the phosphate attached to this domain to be removed by cytosolic phosphatases, causing loss of 14-3-3 binding.
