A key feature in allowing MRAS to be in its active versus inactive state is the switches in MRAS. When MRAS is active, GTP is bound and the switches allow MRAS to be bound with PP1C. When MRAS is inactive, GDP is bound and the switches do not allow MRAS to bind to PP1C. The switches determine whether MRAS can bind to SHOC2-PP1C. The switches have to go through a conformational change to allow binding of SHOC2-PP1C to MRAS. The conformational change is needed because without it SHOC2-PP1C could bind to MRAS when MRAS is still inactive. This process would cause the SHOC2-PP1C-MRAS pathway to constantly be running. The switches and GDP/GTP help regulate this process. | A key feature in allowing MRAS to be in its active versus inactive state is the switches in MRAS.

This conformational change is caused by GTP replacing GDP. When GTP is bound, MRAS shifts and binds with the previously associated SHOC2-PP1C complex. When GDP is bound, <scene name='95/952705/Switch_i_and_ii_with_gdp/8'>switch II</scene> in MRAS is moved outward, which causes a steric clash with SHOC2 <scene name='95/952705/Gdp_with_mras_and_shoc2/2'>(SHOC2 with Closed Switches)</scene>.
