TLDR
The identification of ligands for Tyro 3 and Axl (alternatively, Ark or UFO), members of a previously orphan family of receptor-like tyrosine kinases, correspond to protein S, a protease regulator that is a potent anticoagulant, and Gas6, a protein related toprotein S but lacking any known function.

Isolation of Angiopoietin-1, a Ligand for the TIE2 Receptor, by Secretion-Trap Expression Cloning

TL;DR: The identification of a secreted ligand for TIE2, termed Angiopoietin-1, is reported using a novel expression cloning technique that involves intracellular trapping and detection of the ligand in COS cells.

Bmi-1 dependence distinguishes neural stem cell self-renewal from progenitor proliferation

TL;DR: It is shown that Bmi-1 is required for the self-renewal of stem cells in the peripheral and central nervous systems but not for their survival or differentiation but restricted neural progenitors from the gut and forebrain proliferate normally in the absence of B mi-1.

TAM receptors are pleiotropic inhibitors of the innate immune response.

TL;DR: A self-regulating cycle of inflammation is illuminated, in which the obligatory, cytokine-dependent activation of TAM signaling hijacks a proinflammatory pathway to provide an intrinsic feedback inhibitor of both TLR- and cytokines-driven immune responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunobiology of the TAM receptors

TL;DR: Although its importance was previously unrecognized, TAM signalling promises to have an increasingly prominent role in studies of innate immune regulation.

Molecular cloning of a functional thrombin receptor reveals a novel proteolytic mechanism of receptor activation.

TL;DR: A novel signaling mechanism in which thrombin cleaves its receptor's amino-terminal extension to create a new receptor amino terminus that functions as a tethered ligand and activates the receptor is revealed.

Identification of the hepatocyte growth factor receptor as the c-met proto-oncogene product

TL;DR: A 145-kilodalton tyrosyl phosphoprotein observed in rapid response to HGF treatment of intact target cells was identified by immunoblot analysis as the beta subunit of the c-met proto-oncogene product, a membrane-spanning tyrosine kinase.
