Shoc2/SUR-8 positively regulates Ras/ERK MAP kinase signaling by serving as a scaffold
for Ras and Raf. Here, we examined the role of Shoc2 in the spatio-temporal regulation of
Ras by using a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based biosensor, together
with computational modeling. In epidermal growth factor-stimulated HeLa cells, RNA-
mediated Shoc2 knockdown reduced the phosphorylation of MEK and ERK with half-
maximal inhibition, but not the activation of Ras. For the live monitoring of Ras binding to …
