Heparin-dependent binding and autophosphorylation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor by heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor but not by EGF.
Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is a recently identified member of the EGF family of growth factors and a potent mitogen for smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells genetically engineered to express the human EGF receptor bind with high affinity both EGF and HB-EGF. CHO mutant cells lacking heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) bind EGF equally well...
متن کاملStructure and function of heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF).
Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is a 22 kDa, O-glycosylated protein that is mitogenic for fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells (SMC) and epithelial cells. This review describes the primary structure of HB-EGF, as well as its processing. The structure of the mouse and human HB-EGF genes is also discussed. Finally, this review summarizes HB-EGF expression patterns, receptor-mediated s...
متن کاملThe Soluble Heparin-Binding EGF-Like Growth Factor Stimulates EGF Receptor Trafficking to the Nucleus
Most ligands of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have the ability to induce EGFR translocation into the nucleus, where EGFR acts as an important transcriptional regulator. Soluble form of heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (sHB-EGF) is one of the ligands for EGFR in many cell types; however, there is no evidence for the ability of sHB-EGF to induce EGFR nuclear importation. Here, we ...
متن کاملHeparin blockade of thrombin-induced smooth muscle cell migration involves inhibition of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor transactivation by heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor.
Agonists of G protein-coupled receptors, such as thrombin, act in part by transactivating the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR). Although at first a ligand-independent mechanism for EGFR transactivation was postulated, it has recently been shown that this transactivation by various G protein-coupled receptor agonists can involve heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF). Becau...

Agonists of G protein–coupled receptors, such as thrombin, act in part by transactivating the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR). Although at first a ligand-independent mechanism for EGFR transactivation was postulated, it has recently been shown that this transactivation by various G protein–coupled receptor agonists can involve heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF).
