Activation of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases from the cytoplasmic compartment [PDF]
It is widely accepted that receptor protein-tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are activated upon dimerization by binding to their extracellular ligands. However, EGF receptor (EGFR) dimerization per se does not require ligand binding. Instead, its cytoplasmic kinase domains have to form characteristic head-to-tail asymmetric dimers to become active, where one ...

Receptor Protein Tyrosine Kinases and Phosphatases
It is clear that the number of receptor PTKs and PTPs encoded by a typical vertebrate genome is rather large. Although the signal pathways activated by the receptor PTKs may in many cases be common, specificity is provided by the ligand-binding domain and the availability of ligand.

Characterization of B61, the Ligand for the Eck Receptor Protein-Tyrosine Kinase [PDF]
B61 was originally described as a novel secreted tumor necrosis factor-alpha-inducible gene product in endothelial cells (Holzman, L. B., Marks, R. M., and Dixit, V. M. (1990) Mol. Cell. Biol. 10, 5830-5838). It was recently discovered that soluble recombinant B61 could serve as a ligand for the Eck receptor protein-tyrosine kinase, a member of the Eph/

Tyrosine phosphorylation controls brassinosteroid receptor activation by triggering membrane release of its kinase inhibitor [PDF]
Receptor tyrosine kinases control many critical processes in metazoans, but these enzymes appear to be absent in plants. Recently, two Arabidopsis receptor kinases-BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 1 (BRI1) and BRI1-ASSOCIATED KINASE1 (BAK1), the ...

Tyrosine 402 phosphorylation of Pyk2 is involved in ionomycin-induced neurotransmitter release. [PDF]
Protein tyrosine kinases, which are highly expressed in the central nervous system, are implicated in many neural processes. However, the relationship between protein tyrosine kinases and neurotransmitter release remains unknown.

Association of the erythropoietin receptor with protein tyrosine kinase activity. [PDF]
We have examined the signal transduction mechanism of the hematopoietic growth factor erythropoietin (Epo). Epo stimulation of Ba/F3 cells transfected with the Epo receptor resulted in increases in tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins of 97, 75, and 55 kDa.

In metazoans, receptor kinases control many essential processes related to growth and development and response to the environment. The receptor kinases in plants and animals are structurally similar but evolutionarily distinct and thus while most animal ...

Grb2 binding induces phosphorylation-independent activation of Shp2
Lin et al. investigate the interactions between adaptor protein, Grb2, and the ubiquitously expressed protein tyrosine phosphatase, Shp2. They find that monomeric Grb2 can activate Shp2 and its downstream signalling in the absence of up-regulation of ...

Inhibition of tyrosine kinase activity decreases expression of surfactant protein A in a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line independent of epidermal growth factor receptor [PDF]
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) enhances fetal lung development in vivo and in vitro. Ligand binding to the EGF receptor stimulates an intrinsic receptor tyrosine kinase initiating a signal transduction cascade.
