Abstract excerpt
In this report, we investigated the role of the C-terminal tail of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor in the control of the receptor kinase activity. Using a panel of PDGF beta-receptor mutants with progressive C-terminal truncations, we observed that deletion of the last 46 residues, which contain a proline- and glutamic acid-rich motif, increased the autoactivation velocity in vitro and the...
