The extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase, ERK2, fully activated by phosphorylation and without a His6-tag, shows little tendency to dimerize with or without either calcium or magnesium ions when analyzed by light scattering or analytical ultracentrifugation. Light scattering shows that ~ 90% of ERK2 is monomeric. Sedimentation equilibrium data (obtained at 4.8–11.2 μM ERK2) with or without magnesium (10 mM) are well described by an ideal one-component model with a fitted molar mass of 40,180 ± 240 Da (- Mg2+ ions) and 41,290 ± 330 Da (+ Mg2+ ions). These values, close to the sequence-derived mass of 41,711 Da, indicate that no significant dimerization of ERK2 occurs in solution. Analysis of sedimentation velocity data for a 15 μM solution of ERK2 with an enhanced van Holde-Weischet method determined the sedimentation coefficient (s) to be ~ 3.22 S for activated ERK2 with or without 10 mM MgCl2. The frictional coefficient ratio (f/f0) of 1.28 calculated from the sedimentation velocity and equilibrium data is close to that expected for a globular protein of ~ 42 kDa. The translational diffusion coefficient of ~ 8.3 × 10-7 cm2s-1 calculated from the experimentally determined molar mass and sedimentation coefficient agrees with the value determined by dynamic light scattering in the absence and presence of calcium or magnesium ions and a value determined by NMR spectrometry. ERK2 has been proposed to homodimerize and bind only to cytoplasmic but not nuclear proteins. Our light scattering data show, however, that ERK2 forms a strong 1:1 complex of ~ 57 kDa with the cytoplasmic scaffold protein PEA-15. Thus ERK2 binds PEA-15 as a monomer. Our data provide strong evidence that ERK2 is monomeric under physiological conditions. Analysis of the same ERK2 construct with the non-physiological His6-Tag shows substantial dimerization under the same ionic conditions.
