There are many regulatory mechanisms that serve as a lock on this RAS-MAPK pathway, decreasing the likelihood of unintentional pathway activation. One is a protein dimer called 14-3-3 that keeps inactive RAF localized to the cytoplasm. An N-terminal phosphorylated serine keeps RAF bound to this protein dimer, and when the SMP complex is assembled, the catalytic subunit, PP1C, removes the phosphate group from the serine, releasing RAF from the 14-3-3 dimer, and activating the RAS-MAPK cell proliferation pathway.

SHOC2 has a RVxF binding motif that interacts with the PP1C RVxF binding site. The N-terminal loop of SHOC2 interacts with the RVxF binding site of PP1C, highlighting the structure and function connection of the complex. RVxF allows PP1C substrates to bind, whereas RAF has the RVxF motif, so it can bind to the hydrophobic region of SHOC2, allowing for greater specificity. Additionally, PP1C and SHOC2 do not change conformationally upon the binding of GTP, but rather they are inactive when RAS is bound to GDP due to steric strain. <scene name='95/952694/Pp1coverlay/3'>PP1C retains the same structure</scene> with or without binding to the SMP complex as PP1C retains its enzymatic function independently.<ref name="Liau">PMID: 35768504</ref>.
