Abstract excerpt
Activation of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors occurs through ligand-induced dimerization and autophosphorylation. In this study, we investigated the effects of mutation of tyrosine residue 857 (Y857) in the activation loop of the PDGF beta-receptor (PDGFRbeta) to phenylalanine (Y857F). In agreement with previous observations, we found that PDGFRbeta(Y857F) had a severely diminished in vitro kinase...
