Journal ArticleDOI

The juxtamembrane region of the EGF receptor functions as an activation domain.

TL;DR: How an uncharacterized lung cancer mutation in this JM activation domain (V665M) constitutively activates EGFR by augmenting its capacity to act as an acceptor in the asymmetric dimer is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism for activation of mutated epidermal growth factor receptors in lung cancer.

TL;DR: A previously unrecognized mode of mutant-specific intermolecular regulation for ErbB receptors is defined, demonstrating that activated EGFR mutants found in lung cancer preferentially assume the acceptor role when coexpressed with WT EGFR.
Journal ArticleDOI

EGFR kinase domain duplication (EGFR-KDD) is a novel oncogenic driver in lung cancer that is clinically responsive to afatinib

TL;DR: Oncogenic and drug-sensitive EGFR-KDD that is recurrent in lung, brain, and soft-tissue cancers is identified and it is documented that a patient with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma harboring the EGfr-K DD derived significant antitumor response from treatment with the EGFR inhibitor afatinib.
