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 کاملThe Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor stabilizes epidermal growth factor receptors at the cell surface.
Ligand binding to cell surface receptors initiates both signal transduction and endocytosis. Although signaling may continue within the endocytic compartment, down-regulation is the major mechanism that controls the concentration of cell surface receptors, their ability to receive environmental signals, and the ultimate strength of biological signaling. Internalization, recycling, and trafficki...
متن کاملCell-surface perturbations of the epidermal growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor receptors by phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides.
Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides offer potential as therapeutic agents to inhibit gene expression. Recent evidence indicates that oligodeoxynucleotides designed to target specific nucleic acid sequences can interact nonspecifically with proteins. This report describes the interactive capabilities of phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides of defined sequence and length with two essential protein ...
متن کاملLigand-induced endocytosis of epidermal growth factor receptors that are defective in binding adaptor proteins.
Ligand-activated epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs) associate with coated pit adaptor proteins (AP2) in vivo, implying a mechanism for receptor retention in coated pits during internalization. Using an in vitro binding assay, we localized the adaptor binding determinant to residues 970-991 of EGFRs and confirmed specificity by competition with a synthetic peptide corresponding to this se...
