Interaction between ROR1 and MuSK activation complex in myogenic cells
2017
The ROR family of receptor tyrosine kinases, ROR1 and ROR2, is known to play an important role during skeletal muscle regeneration. ROR1 has a critical role in regulating satellite cell (SC) proliferation during muscle regeneration, and proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-1β can induce expression of ROR1 in myogenic cells via NF-κB activation. While searching for ROR1-interacting proteins in myogenic cells, we identified MuSK as a ROR1-binding protein. MuSK interacts with and phosphorylates ROR1 at the cytoplasmic proline-rich domain. ROR1 also interacts with the MuSK activator Dok-7 independently of MuSK interaction. Collectively, our results identified ROR1 as a new interacting…
Molecular cloning of a tyrosine kinase gene from the marine spongeGeodia cydonium: a new member belonging to the receptor tyrosine kinase class II fa…
1994
We have isolated and characterized a cDNA from the marine sponge Geodia cydonium coding for a new member of the tyrosine protein kinase (TK) family. The cDNA encodes a protein of M(r) = 68,710, termed GCTK, which is homologous to class II receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). GCTK contains conserved amino acids (aa) characteristic of all protein kinases, and the sequences DLATRN and PIRWMATE which are highly specific for TKs. Furthermore, the sequence N-L-Y-x(3)-Y-Y-R is highly homologous to the sequence D-[LIV]-Y-x(3)-Y-Y-R found only in class II RTKs. The sponge TK, when compared with mammalian class II RTKs, shows maximum 31% homology in the TK domain indicating that this the oldest member o…
Immunoglobulin-like domain is present in the extracellular part of the receptor tyrosine kinase from the marine sponge Geodia cydonium.
1994
We have isolated and characterized two cDNAs from the marine sponge Geodia cydonium coding for a new member of a receptor tyrosine kinase of class II. The deduced amino acid sequence shows two characteristic domains: (i) the tyrosine kinase domain; and (ii) and immunoglobulin-like domain. The latter part shows high homology to the vertebrate C2 type immunoglobulin domain. This result demonstrates that immunoglobulin domains are not recent achievements of higher animals but exist also in those animals which have diverged from other organisms about 800 million years ago.
The nucleotide and partial amino acid sequences of rat fetuin. Identity with the natural tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the rat insulin receptor.
1992
Fetuins are among the major plasma proteins, yet their biological role has remained elusive. Here we report the molecular cloning of rat fetuin and the sequence analysis of a full-length clone, RF619 of 1456 bp with an open reading frame of 1056 bp encoding 352 amino acid residues. The coding part of RF619 was identical with the cDNA sequence of the natural inhibitor of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase from rat (pp63) except for four substitutions and a single base insertion causing divergence of the predicted protein sequences. Partial amino acid sequences of rat plasma fetuin were in agreement with the predictions based on the RF619 cDNA. Purified rat fetuin inhibited the insulin rece…
