Journal ArticleDOI
Fibroblast growth factor receptor-4 shows novel features in genomic structure, ligand binding and signal transduction.
Satu Vainikka,Juha Partanen,Paola Bellosta,Coulier F,Birnbaum D,Claudio Basilico,Jaye M,Kari Alitalo +7 more
TL;DR: An FGF binding profile for FGFR‐4 is established with aFGF having the highest affinity, followed by K‐FGF/hst‐1 and bFGF, and FGF‐6 was found to bind to FGFR•4 in ligand competition experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Signal transduction by fibroblast growth factor receptor-4 (FGFR-4). Comparison with FGFR-1.
Satu Vainikka,Vladimir Joukov,S Wennström,Mathias Bergman,Pier Giuseppe Pelicci,Kari Alitalo +5 more
TL;DR: FGFR-4 induced only a barely detectable phosphorylation of the cellular serine/threonine kinase Raf-1 and a weaker tyrosyl phosphorylated of mitogen-activated protein kinases than FGFR-1, and stimulation of both receptors resulted in increased DNA synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diverse receptors for fibroblast growth factors.
TL;DR: The development and maintenance of multicellular organisms requires a complex interplay between cells in different tissues and polypeptide mitogens eliciting a wide variety of responses depending on the target cell type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and functional specificity of FGF receptors
TL;DR: The molecular cloning of the signal transducing receptors for fibroblast growth factors has revealed a tyrosine kinase gene family with at least four members, and the dual receptor system for FGFs might be an example of a more widely used principle.
Journal Article
Expression of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors in Human Leukemia Cells
TL;DR: Partanen et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed the mRNA expression of four different FGFRs, including the two novel genes in human leukemia cell lines, at levels similar to those in solid tumor cell lines.
