Abstract excerpt
Ubiquitination of the EGF receptor (EGFR) has been implicated in EGF-induced receptor internalization, lysosomal degradation, and down-regulation. Mutation of EGFR ubiquitination sites identified by mass spectrometry yielded receptor mutants that are weakly ubiquitinated and not down-regulated by EGF. However, these EGFR mutants were normally internalized. To examine whether this internalization was mediated by...
