"Cot proteins were used in an in vitro kinase assay using mek as a substrate. Samples were analyzed by western blotting. As seen in the cascade activity assay only wild-type cot was active against mekregulation of cot is of great interest to the signaling field since the cot/mek/erk pathway potentially plays a role in the etiology of inflammatory autoimmune diseases."

"Activation of mek family kinases requires phosphorylation of two conserved ser/thr residueserine residues 218 and 222 of human mek1 are the primary sites for phosphorylation by c-raf."

"Among other effectors, active ras binds and activates the raf kinase, iniziating a kinase cascade involving serine phosporylation of mek1/2 (mapkk) and tyrosine and threonine phosphorylation of erk1/2 active raf phosphorylates mek phospholpeptide analysis demostrated that serine residues 218 and 222 of human mek1 are the primary sites for phosphorylation by c-raf."

"Our data demonstrated that a-raf is, indeed, a mek1 activator and may play a role in growth factor signaling|The immunoprecipitates were assayed for GST-MEK1 activation. D, activation of MEK1 by A-Raf requires the presence of serine residue 218 and 222."

"Phosphorylation at ser-218 and ser-222 by map kinase kinase kinases (raf or mekk1) positively regulates mek1 kinase activity."
