A multifunctional docking site mediates signaling and transformation by the hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor receptor family

TL;DR: The existence in the hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) receptor of a multifunctional docking site made of the tandemly arranged degenerate sequence YVH/NV is reported, suggesting that in all members of the HGF/ SF receptor family, signal transduction is channeled through a multifunctionsal binding site.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scatter factor and hepatocyte growth factor are indistinguishable ligands for the MET receptor.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the same molecule (SF/HGF), purified according to their respective biological activities, acts as a growth or motility factor through a single receptor in different target cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tyrosine kinase receptor indistinguishable from the c-met protein.

TL;DR: It is shown that p190 is indistinguishable from the protein encoded by the c-met protooncogene and that the αβ-subunit structure is conserved in other human cell lines, and the high level of p190 found in the GTL-16 cell line is accompanied by amplification and overexpression of c- Met.
Journal ArticleDOI

HGF receptor associates with the anti-apoptotic protein BAG-1 and prevents cell death.

TL;DR: The finding of a link between growth factor receptors and the anti‐apoptotic machinery fills a gap in the understanding of the molecular events regulating programmed cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uncoupling of Grb2 from the Met receptor in vivo reveals complex roles in muscle development.

TL;DR: The data show that the requirements for Met signaling vary depending on the tissue and reveal a novel role for HGF/ Met in late myogenesis, as well as highlighting the importance of knowing the carrier and removal status of canine coronavirus.
