-Protein tyrosine phosphorylation induced by arachidonic acid (AA), an important lipid second messenger, was investigated in rabbit renal proximal tubule epithelial cells. AA stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of a number of proteins with estimated molecular weights of 42, 44, 52, 56, 85, and 170/180 kDa. The phosphoproteins pp44 and pp42 were identified as 2 isoforms of mitogen-activated prot...

The sessile plants have evolved a large number of receptor-like kinases (RLKs) and receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs) to modulate diverse biological processes, including plant innate immunity. Phosphorylation of the RLK/RLCK complex constitutes an essential step to initiate immune signaling. Two Arabidopsis plasma membrane-resident RLKs, flagellin-sensing 2 and brassinosteroid insensitiv...

Erythropoietin (EPO) is required for the survival and expansion of red blood cell progenitor cells and supports continued differentiation of these committed progenitors to mature red blood cells. After binding to its cognate receptor, EPO promotes receptor homodimerization, activation of receptor-associated JAK2, subsequent receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, and transduction of signal. EPO is a...

HER2-targeted therapy has moved beyond trastuzumab to include other monoclonals targeting the cell surface, receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors of HER2, and antibody-drug conjugates. Afatinib, a small molecule receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, now joins the ranks of HER2-targeting agents in combination with trastuzumab. The combination brings new opportunities and challenges.

A Drosophila genomic fragment has been isolated with a deduced amino acid sequence that is strikingly homologous to that of the kinase domain of the human insulin receptor. The Drosophila DNA hybridizes with an 11-kilobase mRNA that is most prominent in 8- to 12-hr embryos. An anti-peptide antibody prepared to a sequence in the human insulin receptor kinase domain that is conserved in the Droso...

A human B-lymphoblastoid lambda gt11 expression library was screened using anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies yielding complementary DNAs encoding active tyrosine kinases. The resulting clones were used to obtain the sequence of a novel 984 amino acid transmembrane tyrosine kinase. Analysis of the complementary DNA revealed extracellular immunoglobulin and fibronectin type III domains and the unus...

The present study examined the levels of NMDA receptor NR2 subunit tyrosine phosphorylation in a rat model of inflammation and correlated it with the development of inflammation and hyperalgesia. Hindpaw inflammation and hyperalgesia were induced by intraplantar injection of complete Freund's adjuvant. Proteins from the spinal cord (L4-L5) were immunoprecipitated with anti-NR2A or anti-NR2B ant...

The rat neu oncogene product is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor subgroup of the superfamily of growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases. The oncogenic activation of the neu protein occurs by a point mutation within its transmembrane region which results in an increase in its tyrosine kinase activity. Using three different forms of neu expressed in insect cells via baculovi...

1 Title: Abelson family tyrosine kinases regulate the function of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and nicotinic synapses on autonomic neurons. Abbreviations: Abelson family tyrosine kinase (AFK), Abelson family tyrosine kinase 1 (Abl1, c-Abl), Abelson family tyrosine kinase 2 (Abl2, Arg), non receptor tyrosine kinase (NRTK), Src family tyrosine kinase (SFK), postsynaptic density (PSD), nicoti...

The tyrosine kinase activity of insulin receptor isolated from the skeletal muscle of NIDDM patients has previously been found to be decreased compared with the activity of receptor from nondiabetic subjects but the mechanism underlying this defect is unknown. Phosphorylation of receptor serine/threonine residues has been proposed to exert an inhibitory influence on receptor tyrosine kinase act...
