"We analyzed the ability of mp1 to bind to mek1, erk1, and to itself, and the regulation of these interactions. Gel filtration of cell lysates revealed two major mp1 peaks: a broad high molecular weight peak and a 28 kda complex. An mp1 mutant that lost mek1 binding no longer enhanced rasv12-stimulated erk1 activity, and functioned as a dominant negative, consistent with the concept that mp1 function depends on facilitating these oligomerizations."
