Abstract excerpt
Oncogenic activation of the Ron tyrosine kinase (Macrophage Stimulating Protein receptor) relies on substitutions of two highly conserved residues in the catalytic domain (D1232V and M1254T), which result in ligand-independent activation of the receptor, in vivo tumorigenesis and metastasis. We show here that the Y/F conversion of the Y1317 residue in the kinase domain impairs tumorigenic and metastatic...
