...Among the four FGF receptors (FGFRs), FGFR1 and FGFR2 bind FGF2 with the highest affinities (15)....

...Actions of FGF2 (9, 14, 15) are mediated via signaling through cell surface receptors, which constitute a family of four structurally related transmembrane type tyrosine kinases (15)....

...To show that MSCs have receptors for FGF2 (FGFR1 and FGFR4) and VEGF (FLK1), we amplified mRNA from MSCs, and used this preparation to conduct immunoblots, and then subjected these blots to RT-PCR analysis for the presences of VEGF and FGF2 receptors.(7,8) We found that MSCs express mRNA for FGFR1, FGFR4, and VEGF (FLK1) receptors (Fig....

...One way these recruited target proteins may be localized to the activated receptor is through the interaction between their Src-homology 2 (SH2) domains and specific phosphotyrosine residues on the activated receptor (Pawson 1995)....

...Phosphorylated tyrosine residues, in turn, recruit other signaling molecules to the activated receptors and propagate the signal through many possible transduction pathways (Pawson 1995)....

...Mutation of all four cysteines to serines results in a protein with the same secondary structure and equally mitogenic for 3T3 cells as the wild-type FGF-2 (Foxet al. 1988), suggesting that the formation of disulfide bridges is not important for the secondary structure and mitogenic activity of…...

...Ornitz et al. (1996) determined the specificity of different FGFs for different receptor isoforms by overexpressing these isoforms in Baf3 cells, which do not normally express FGFRs, and assaying for [3H]thymidine incorporation in these cells following treatment with different FGFs (see Table 2)....
