Ligand-Induced, Receptor-Mediated Dimerization and Activation of EGF Receptor
The EGF receptor mediates many cellular responses in normal biological processes and in pathological states. Recent structural studies reveal the molecular basis for ligand binding specificity and how ligand binding induces receptor dimerization. Receptor dimerization is mediated by receptor-receptor interactions in which a loop protruding from neighboring receptors mediates receptor dimerizati...
متن کاملLigand regulation of a constitutively dimeric EGF receptor
Ligand-induced receptor dimerization has traditionally been viewed as the key event in transmembrane signalling by epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs). Here we show that the Caenorhabditis elegans EGFR orthologue LET-23 is constitutively dimeric, yet responds to its ligand LIN-3 without changing oligomerization state. SAXS and mutational analyses further reveal that the preformed dimer of...
متن کاملX. Trefoil peptide and EGF receptor/ligand transgenic mice.
The use of genetically engineered mice with both gain-of-function and loss-of-function mutations has been particularly informative about the normal and pathophysiological actions of a number of regulatory peptides of the gastrointestinal tract. This review highlights some of the major findings pertinent to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and its ligands, particularly the major gut li...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor inhibits ligand-stimulated EGF receptor activation through a TNF receptor 1-dependent mechanism.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) are key regulators in the intricate balance maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Previous work from our laboratory shows that TNF attenuates ligand-driven EGF receptor (EGFR) phosphorylation in intestinal epithelial cells. To identify the mechanisms underlying this effect, we examined EGFR phosphorylation in cells lacking individual T...
متن کاملParticipation of Tom1L1 in EGF-stimulated endocytosis of EGF receptor
Although many proteins have been shown to participate in ligand-stimulated endocytosis of EGF receptor (EGFR), the adaptor protein responsible for interaction of activated EGFR with endocytic machinery remains elusive. We show here that EGF stimulates transient tyrosine phosphorylation of Tom1L1 by the Src family kinases, resulting in transient interaction of Tom1L1 with the activated EGFR brid...
