MEK-1/2 have a proline rich domain and critical Serine residues (MEK-1 S218/222, MEK-2 unknown, S) upon which the molecules may be phosphorylated.
MEK1/2 are found in the cytoplasm of unstimulated cells.
MEK-1/2 bind to active Raf-1 via the proline-rich domain.
Active Raf-1 is able to phosphorylate target Serine and Threonine residues in the presence of ATP
Active Raf-1 phosphorylates MEK-1/2 on Serine residues, converting ATP to ADP. The MEK-1/2 kinase is now active.

B-Raf protein isoforms interact with and phosphorylate Mek-1 on serine residues 218 and 222.

In the cytoplasm activated MEK1 (Serine phosphorylated) may encounter monomeric, inactive ERK1.
ERK1 in its inactive form is not phosphorylated on a critical Threonine (T) and a critical Tyrosine (Y).
MEK1 phosphorylates the critical Tyr and Thr on ERK1, converting two ATP to ADP. Phosphorylation of ERK-1 activates its kinase activity.
