MEK is continuously dephosphorylated by PP2A (PPP2CA) whose activity is stimulated by P38: P38 activity increases the physical association between PP2A and MEK/ERK complex. A direct interaction between P38 and ERK has been proposed as a mechanism to inhibit ERK phosphorylation. AP-1 mediated gene expression inhibits ERK phosphorylation.
