16. Adaptor Proteins in Regulation of Receptor Endocytosis
Sammanfattning : Ligand-induced endocytosis of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) is a dynamic process governed by numerous protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions. This is a major mechanism of signal termination and is also frequently impaired in cancer. LÄS MER
17. Novel Regulators of the TGF-β Signaling Pathway
Sammanfattning : The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily consists of related multifunctional cytokines, which include TGF-βs, activins, and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and coordinate several biological responses in diverse cell types. The biological activity of TGF-β members is executed by transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptors and intracellular Smad proteins. LÄS MER
18. Biophysical studies of cell membrane receptors for the growth factors PDGP and EGF : Aspects on lateral and aggregation
Sammanfattning : When extracellular growth factors bind to their specific cell surface receptors, they elicit a cascade of biochemical events, including tyrosine kinase-mediated phosphorylation and changes in intracellular free ca2+, leading to cell differentiation and proliferation. However, direct effects of ligand-binding on the receptors are poorly understood. LÄS MER
19. Regulation of TGF-β Signaling by Post-Translational Modifications
Sammanfattning : Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling is initiated when the ligand binds to type II and type I serine/threonine kinase receptors at the cell surface. Activated TGF-β type I receptors phosphorylate R-Smads which relocate, together with co-Smads, to the cell nucleus and regulate transcription. LÄS MER
20. Regulation of TGFβ signaling by long non-coding RNAs and ADP-ribosylation
Sammanfattning : Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling pathways participate in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis and have a dual role in cancer. TGFβ acts as a tumor suppressor that promotes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis at initial stages of tumorigenesis. LÄS MER
