'''SHOC2-PP1C-MRAS''' is a ternary complex formed by the individual proteins: SHOC2, PP1C, and MRAS. Formation of this complex begins with a signal binding to a receptor tyrosine kinase receptor(RTK). This causes membrane bound MRAS to exchange GDP for GTP. From here the complex comes together and is able to dephosphorylate the RAF complex leading to further downstream signaling effects. | '''SHOC2-PP1C-MRAS''' is a ternary complex formed by the individual proteins: SHOC2, PP1C, and MRAS.

In its inactive state, MRAS is bound to GDP. When signaled by growth factors, the GDP is exchanged for GTP. The now <scene name='95/952718/Zoom_in_gtp/1'>GTP bound MRAS</scene> undergoes a conformational change of the switch I and switch II regions. This conformational change activates the protein allowing it to bind more easily with the SHOC2-PP1C complex. In comparison to other RAS proteins, MRAS has a greater affinity for the SHOC2-PP1C complex. |
