Cell Signalling: Receptor orphans find a family
A family of ligands has been identified for the largest group of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases--the hitherto 'orphan' EPH receptor subfamily--and the functions of these receptors and ligands are starting to be elucidated.
متن کاملT cell receptor signalling.
Upon engagement of the TCR by antigen presented on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, the Src family kinase Lck is activated and proceeds to phosphorylate immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) on the ε, δ, γ and ζ subunits of the TCR. Phosphorylated ITAMs promote the recruitment and subsequent activation of another tyrosine kinase ZAP-70. Two known substrates of...
متن کاملRor receptor tyrosine kinases: orphans no more.
Receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor (Ror) proteins are a conserved family of tyrosine kinase receptors that function in developmental processes including skeletal and neuronal development, cell movement and cell polarity. Although Ror proteins were originally named because the associated ligand and signaling pathway were unknown, recent studies in multiple species have now established...
متن کاملForaminifera and Cercozoa are related in actin phylogeny: two orphans find a home?
In recent years, the increased sampling of protein-coding genes from diverse eukaryotes has revealed that many aspects of each gene tree are at odds with other phylogenies. This has led to the belief that each gene tree has unique strengths and weaknesses, suggesting that an accurate picture of eukaryotic relationships will be achieved only through comparative phylogeny using several different ...
متن کاملB-cell development and antigen receptor signalling.
B-cell development and function requires the products of the Vav family of genes. Vav proteins act as key components of the antigen receptor signal transduction machinery by integration of signals that control the cell cycle, differentiation and apoptosis. At the molecular level, Vav proteins regulate small-molecular-mass GTPases, phosphoinositide 3-kinase, TEC family tyrosine kinases and intra...
