<scene name='95/952717/Shoc2/1'>SHOC2</scene> is a scaffold protein that is composed of 20 leucine-rich repeat domains that form a solenoid structure. The leucine rich region forms a concave hydrophobic core which is necessary for binding with PP1C and MRAS. | <scene name='95/952717/Shoc2/1'>SHOC2</scene> is a scaffold protein that is composed of 20 leucine-rich repeat domains that form a solenoid structure.

<scene name='95/952717/Mras/2'>MRAS</scene> is a membrane bound structure that aids the complex in localizing near other structures such as the RAS-RAF-MAPK complex in order to initiate downstream signaling. 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.
