	MRAS is initially bound to GDP causing it to be in its inactive state. Inactive GDP-MRAS cannot bind to the SHOC2-PP1C complex due to steric clashing of the switch I and II regions of MRAS and its binding zone on SHOC2. Once GDP is exchanged for GTP when signaled by growth factors, MRAS is activated and conformational changes occur within the switch I and switch II regions to allow <scene name='95/952716/~~Scho2~~-~~mras-interactions~~/2'>MRAS to interact with SHOC2</scene>.
