Folding and Intrinsic Disorder of the Receptor Tyrosine Kinase KIT Insert Domain Seen by Conventional Molecular Dynamics Simulations [PDF]
The kinase insert domain (KID) of RTK KIT is the key recruitment region for downstream signalling proteins. KID, studied by molecular dynamics simulations as a cleaved polypeptide and as a native domain fused to KIT, showed intrinsic disorder represented by a set of heterogeneous conformations. The accurate atomistic models showed that the helical fold

Does Generic Cyclic Kinase Insert Domain of Receptor Tyrosine Kinase KIT Clone Its Native Homologue? [PDF]
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are modular membrane proteins possessing both well-folded and disordered domains acting together in ligand-induced activation and regulation of post-transduction processes that tightly couple extracellular and cytoplasmic events.

An insulin-sensitive Drosophila insulin-like receptor mutant remodels methionine metabolism to extend lifespan. [PDF]
Insulin/insulin growth factor signaling is a conserved pathway that regulates lifespan across many species. Multiple mechanisms are proposed for how this altered signaling slows aging.

Tyr721 regulates specific binding of the CSF-1 receptor kinase insert to PI 3′-kinase SH2 domains: a model for SH2-mediated receptor-target interactions. [PDF]
Efficient binding of active phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3'-kinase to the autophosphorylated macrophage colony stimulating factor receptor (CSF-1R) requires the noncatalytic kinase insert (KI) region of the receptor. To test whether this region could function independently to bind PI 3'-kinase, the isolated CSF-1R KI was expressed in Escherichia coli, and

Transactivation of Fetal Liver Kinase-1/Kinase-Insert Domain-Containing Receptor by Lysophosphatidylcholine Induces Vascular Endothelial Cell Proliferation [PDF]
Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), a major lipid component of oxidized low-density lipoprotein, is a bioactive lipid molecule involved in numerous biological processes including the progression of atherosclerosis. Recently orphan G protein-coupled receptors were identified as high-affinity receptors for LPC.
