MAP2K1 phosphorylated on S222 is active. 6 / 6

"Raf-1 phosphorylation of MEK activated it, as judged by its ability to stimulate the phosphorylation of myelin basic protein by glutathione S-transferase-ERK1."

"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 ras activation leads to raf and subsequently mek activation. Phospholipide 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."

"In vitro kinase assay revealed that the direct targets of pdk1 in the mapk pathway were the upstream mapk kinases mek1 and mek2. The identified pdk1 phosphorylation sites in mek1 and mek2 are ser222 and ser226, respectively, and are known to be essential for full activation"

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

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