Dimerization of internalized epidermal growth factor receptors.
Binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to cell surface EGF receptors initiates the formation of the receptor homodimers that can be detected by covalent cross-linking in intact cells or in detergent-solubilized cell extracts. Low pH dissociation of EGF from surface receptors results in immediate monomerization of receptor dimers. Using chemical cross-linking during mild permeabilization or ce...
متن کاملEpidermal Growth Factor Receptors and Breast Cancer
Growth factors are polypeptides that stimulate cell proliferation through binding to specific high-affinity cell membrane receptors. Plasma contains small quantities of growth factors. Platelets contain large amounts and it is thought that these are delivered to sites of injury where they may influence wound healing and repair. Growth factors are present in a variety of other tissues and have d...
متن کاملEpidermal Growth Factor and Membrane Trafficking
Activated epidermal growth factor receptors recruit various intracellular proteins leading to signal generation and endocytic trafficking. Although activated receptors are rapidly internalized into the endocytic compartment and subsequently degraded in lysosomes, the linkage between signaling and endocytosis is not well understood. Here we show that EGF stimulation of NR6 cells induces a specif...
متن کاملAltered Expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) in Glioma
EGFR is a key molecule in cancer cells. EGFR signaling was shown to promote tumor cell proliferation and survival, invasion and angiogenesis and mediate resistance to treatment, including ionizing radiation in preclinical models. We extracted proteins from astrocytoma (III and IV) oligodendroglioma(IV) tumors and normal brain tissues and then evaluated the protein purity by Bradford test ...
متن کاملMolecular Pathways Nuclear Translocation of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Family Membrane Tyrosine Kinase Receptors
Integral membrane proteins contain a hydrophobic transmembrane domain and mainly locate in the plasma membrane lipid bilayer. The receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) superfamily, including ErbB-1, ErbB-2, ErbB-3, and ErbB-4, constitute an important group of such membrane proteins, which have a profound impact on cancer initiation, progression, and pati...
