RTK’s--How do they work?
EGFR signaling and ras
MAP Kinase Cascades
PI3K, PKB, PLCg
PTPs (Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases)
Epidermal growth factor
Neurotrophic growth factor (NGF) isolated from mouse
submaxillary glands (Rita Levi-Montalcini)
Stanley Cohen, 1962
“Side effects” of impure NGF preps
Premature eyelid opening (7d vs. 14 d)
Premature tooth eruption (6 d vs. 9 d)
Pure “Tooth-lid factor” = EGF
Important roles in development
no EGF
EGF 1 mg/kg
Mitogenic for fibroblasts
Regulates growth/differentiation of many target cells

S. Cohen, JBC 237:1555, 1962
S. Cohen, Nobel lecture, 1986
Phospho-tyrosine signals
Kinases phosphorylate tyrosine (Y*) residues of target proteins
Y~P = target for distinctive protein binding pockets, with
surrounding sequences lending specificity
ALWAYS activate by promoting proximity of proteins A and B
(sometimes by allostery also)
A
X
TK
A
P
X
A
P
B
X
In its new proximity to A, B’s
activity (= X) can now:
Phosphorylate or de-phosphorylate
another protein
Make or degrade a 2nd messenger
Attract additional signaling molecules
B
Y~P provides long-lasting but erasable memory, which is
terminated by DE-phosphorylation
*Y = one-letter code for tyrosine; S = ser, T = thr, etc.
Phospho-tyrosine signals regulate growth & differentiation
RTKs = Receptor Tyrosine Kinases
Extracellular region
variable, with many
different motifs
Usually cross membrane
only once
Intracellular region
contains conserved
catalytic domains
ALSO: TK-linked
receptors for:
Antigens (receptors on B and T cells
Growth hormone
Interleukin-4
Erythropoietin, many others
Alberts, 15-47
How RTKs (& TK-linked Rs) work
1. Ligand promotes formation of RTK dimers, by different mechanisms:
Ligand itself is a dimer (PDGF)
One ligand binds both monomers (GH)
2. Dimerization allows trans-phosphorylation of catalytic domains, which
induces activation of catalytic (Y-kinase) activity
3. Activated TK domains phosphorylate each other and proteins nearby,
sometimes on multiple tyrosines
4. Y~P residues recruit other signaling proteins, generate multiple signals
EGF receptor as a model
1st RTK to be characterized
v-erbB oncogene = truncated EGFR
Evidence for EGFR dimerization
Yarden & Schlessinger
Rate of phosphorylation =
k[EGFR]2, even in micelles!
Therefore: 2 EGFRs required
for phosphorylation
Later confirmed by
Chemical cross-linking
FRET
Dominant-negative mutants (e.g., kinase-dead EGFR)
IMPORTANT
Dimerization/proximity = alternative to allostery
(Shown by swapping EC/IC domains of EGFR, PDGFR)
How do we know that the EGFR autophosphorylates in trans?
Experiment: test WT and short EGFRs,
each with or without a kin- mutation

Honneger et al. (in vitro) PNAS 1989;
(in vivo) MCB 1999
Does this result rule out phosphorylation in cis as well?
If not, how can you find out?
PS: What do trans and cis mean?
How can we know that the EGFR does
not autophosphorylate in cis?
Need an EGFR that cannot homodimerize
EGFR family is huge, with many RTK members and many
EGF-like ligands
Such receptors often form obligatory heterodimers with a
similar but different partner
If A can dimerize only with A’, then we can inactivate the
kinase domain of A’ and ask whether A phosphorylates itself
Answer: NO
QED
How does dimerization activate RTKs?
GFRs (like many kinases) have sites in their T loops at which
phosphorylation activates
Dimerization induces T-loop
phosphorylation in trans
Phosphorylation of Y (one or
more) in T-loop causes it to
move out of the way of the
active site.
T-loop
Cat. loop
Y1162 occupies the
active site
Substrate Y
sits in active site
Proximity by itself is usually enough to promote T-loop phosphorylation,
but there may also be a role for allostery
Once activated, each monomer can phosphorylate nearby Y residues in
the other, as well as in other proteins
Y1162
flips out
Bonus material:
In contrast to most
RTKs, phosphorylation
of EGFR activation loop
is not critical to
activation.
How does it work?
Asymmetric dimers
activate by allosteric
mechanism

RTK’s--How do they work?
EGFR signaling and ras
MAP Kinase Cascades
PI3K, PKB, PLCg
PTPs (Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases)

specific proteins, generate
different signals

Ras activates multiple targets (MAPK)
PLC-g
Docking of Y-kinases allows Tyr-phos’n of PLC-g, which activates it
PI3-kinase
Adapters again
Docking allosterically activates PI3K
Each signal, in turn, activates a different set of pathways, which cooperate
to produce the overall response
P
P
P
Adapters connect A with B, B with C . . . to create complex,
localized assemblies of signaling proteins
Adapter 2
Each adapter has at least 2
interaction domains, and may
have other functions as well

Polyproline-containing sequences

Many others
Specific 4-residue sequences at C-termini
Phosphoinositides
SH2 & SH3 domains--src homology domains
SH domains are protein domains
initially discovered in Src, a
transforming tyrosine kinase found in
Rous sarcoma virus.
Sequences of many signaling proteins
that interact with RTKs revealed
multiple homologous domains to Src
region 2 and region 3.
Lodish, 24-17
SH2: Protein motif of ~100 amino
acids, binds to phosphotyrosine
peptide sequences. (87 SH2 in the
human genome)
SH3: ~60 amino acid domain, binds to
R-X-X-P-X-X-P peptide sequences.
(143 SH3 in the human genome)
How would you determine the
specificity of an individual SH2
domain for a phosphopeptide?

All or nothing response in Xenopus oocytes
Progesterone, or fertilization,
induces germinal vesicle
breakdown of Xenopus
oocytes--a process mediated
by the MAPK cascade.
Question: At a concentration
of progesterone that halfmaximally activates MAPK
(0.01 uM, panel A), are all
the oocytes activated
halfway (panel B), or are half
of the oocytes activated fully
(panel C)?
Since Xenopus oocytes are
HUGE, one can look at
MAPK on a cell by cell basis.

protein together with HPK1 or epitope-tagged JNK1, MKK7, MLK3, and DLK (15, 16). The presence of these kinases in
glutathione-agarose precipitates was examined by protein immunoblot analysis.

PTEN discovered as a tumor

Mutated in brain, breast and

Has homology to dual

Was discovered to remove
phosphates from PIPs;
thereby providing likely
mechanism for tumor
suppression.
