Epidermal growth factor receptors: critical mediators of multiple receptor pathways.

Reads0

TLDR
The receptor for epidermal growth factor was identified as a downstream element in different signaling pathways, expanding its classical function as a receptor for EGF-like ligands to a role as mediator of diverse signaling systems and as a switch point of a cellular communication network.

Cell signaling by receptor-tyrosine kinases

TL;DR: Understanding of the complex signaling networks downstream from RTKs and how alterations in these networks are translated into cellular responses provides an important context for therapeutically countering the effects of pathogenic RTK mutations in cancer and other diseases.

The ErbB signaling network: receptor heterodimerization in development and cancer

TL;DR: The role of ErbB receptors as normal signal transducers and their contribution to the process of malignant transformation during tumor development are concentrated on.

EGF receptor transactivation by G-protein-coupled receptors requires metalloproteinase cleavage of proHB-EGF

TL;DR: In this article, agents and methods for growth factor receptor activation by modulating the G-protein mediated signal transduction pathway were described, and a method to activate the growth factor receptors was proposed.

The protein tyrosine kinase family of the human genome.

TL;DR: The completion of the human tyrosine kinase family tree provides a framework for further advances in biomedical science and identifies several novel genes and enabled the creation of a nonredundant catalog of tyrosines kinase genes.

STATs and Gene Regulation

TL;DR: The discovery of a STAT in Drosophila, and most recently in Dictyostelium discoideum, implies an ancient evolutionary origin for this dual-function set of proteins.

Requirement for Generation of H2O2 for Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Signal Transduction

TL;DR: The results suggest that H2O2 may act as a signal-transducing molecule, and they suggest a potential mechanism for the cardioprotective effects of antioxidants.

Activation of the Estrogen Receptor Through Phosphorylation by Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase

TL;DR: The phosphorylation of the human estrogen receptor (ER) serine residue at position 118 is required for full activity of the ER activation function 1 (AF-1), which is modulated by the phosphorylated Ser118 through the Ras-MAPK cascade of the growth factor signaling pathways.

ErbB‐2, the preferred heterodimerization partner of all ErbB receptors, is a mediator of lateral signaling

TL;DR: Analysis of ErbB receptor interplay induced by the epidermal growth factor (EGF)‐related peptides provides the first biochemical evidence that a given Erb B receptor has distinct signaling properties depending on its dimerization.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
