Activated RAF phosphorylates the MEK kinases MAP2K1 and MAP2K2 on 2 serine residues in the MAP2K activation loop (S218 and S222 in MAP2K1 and S222 and S226 in MAP2K2 (Zheng and Guan, 1994; Alessi et al, 1994; Catling et al, 1995; Papin et al, 1995; Seger et al, 1994; reviewed in Roskoski, 2012a). Although all three RAF kinases can phosphorylate MAP2K1 and MAP2K2, BRAF appears to be the primary activator in vivo (Marais et al, 1997; Jaiswal et al, 1994; Pritchard et al, 1995; reviewed in Welbrock et al, 2004)
