Untangling the ErbB signalling network

TL;DR: When epidermal growth factor and its relatives bind the ErbB family of receptors, they trigger a rich network of signalling pathways, culminating in responses ranging from cell division to death, motility to adhesion.

The versatility and universality of calcium signalling

TL;DR: The universality of calcium as an intracellular messenger depends on its enormous versatility, which is exploited to control processes as diverse as fertilization, proliferation, development, learning and memory, contraction and secretion.

ERBB receptors and cancer: the complexity of targeted inhibitors.

TL;DR: This work discusses the significance of these receptors as clinical targets, in particular the molecular mechanisms underlying response, and many ERBB inhibitors used in the clinic.

Thrombin signalling and protease-activated receptors

TL;DR: Roles for PARs are beginning to emerge in haemostasis and thrombosis, inflammation, and perhaps even blood vessel development.

Evolving Concepts in G Protein-Coupled Receptor Endocytosis: The Role in Receptor Desensitization and Signaling

TL;DR: The focus of this review is the current and evolving understanding of the contribution of GRKs, beta-arrestins, and endocytosis to GPCR-specific patterns of desensitization and resensitized.

Tricine-sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for the separation of proteins in the range from 1 to 100 kDa.

TL;DR: A discontinuous sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) system for the separation of proteins in the range from 1 to 100 kDa is described, and the omission of glycine and urea prevents disturbances which might occur in the course of subsequent amino acid sequencing.

Role of transactivation of the EGF receptor in signalling by G-protein-coupled receptors

TL;DR: It is reported here that the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the neu oncoprotein become rapidly tyrosine-phosphorylated upon stimulation of Rat-1 cells with the GPCR agonists endothelin-1, lysophosphatic acid and thrombin, suggesting that there is an intracellular mechanism for transactivation.

ECM and cell surface proteolysis: regulating cellular ecology.

TL;DR: Understanding the mechanisms by which pericellular proteinases are regulated and activated, the nature of their molecular targets, and how adhesion and proteolysis are integrated will provide exciting avenues for investigation over the next few years.

Regulation of tyrosine kinase cascades by G-protein-coupled receptors.

TL;DR: Three types of scaffolds for GPCR-directed complex assembly have been identified: transactivated receptor tyrosine kinases, integrin-based focal adhesions, and GPCRs themselves, and nonreceptor tyrosines play an important role in each case.

Membrane-Anchored Growth Factors

TL;DR: The objective was to establish a database of known Membrane Growth Factors as Receptors and to evaluate the role of these factors in the development of Membranes Anchored Growth Factor Cleavage.
