A sequence motif in the transmembrane region of growth factor receptors with tyrosine kinase activity mediates dimerization 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
A mechanism by which ligand binding to the extracellular domain of a growth factor receptor causes activation of its cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain is that binding promotes receptor dimerization. Recently we proposed a model in which dimerization of the transmembrane alpha-helices in one member of this family, rat neu, is mediated by the presence of three specific residues. This paper shows that a similar sequence motif is observed in 18 of the 20 transmembrane alpha-helices of the tyrosine kinase family of growth factor receptors. The motif encompasses a five residue segment in which position 0 (P0) requires a small side chain (Gly, Ala, Ser, Thr or Pro), P3 an aliphatic side chain (Ala, Val, Leu or Ile) and P4 only the smallest side chains (Gly or Ala). In addition other features of the transmembrane sequences are reported. It is concluded that the dimerization of transmembrane alpha-helices may be a general mechanism of tyrosine kinase activation in this family of growth factor receptors. 相似文献

Summary The DNA fragments including the whole large spacer region of Vicia faba rDNA were cloned in plasmid pBR325. Sixteen clones were classed into five groups which differed from each other in the lengths of the rDNA inserts. Physical maps of these length variants cloned were constructed using EcoRI, SalI, HpaI, MluI and AccI and evidence was obtained that the length heterogeneity was due mainly to the differing number of 325 base pairs (bp) subrepeating elements in the large spacer. Sequence analysis of this subrepeating element revealed that it consisted of a duplet of an approximately 155 bp sequence and a 14 bp unrelated sequence. This structure of the repetitive element is novel. 相似文献
