Structural and Biochemical Evidence for an Autoinhibitory Role for Tyrosine 984 in the Juxtamembrane Region of the Insulin Receptor
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Tyrosine 984 in the juxtamembrane region of the insulin receptor, between the transmembrane helix and the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain, is conserved among all insulin receptor-like proteins from hydra to humans. Crystallographic studies of the tyrosine kinase domain and proximal juxtamembrane region reveal that Tyr-984 interacts with several other conserved residues in the N-terminal lobe of the kinase...
