Abstract excerpt
Mechanisms regulating transit of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) from inactive to active states are incompletely described, but require autophosphorylation of tyrosine(s) within a kinase domain 'activation loop'. Here, we employ functional biological assays with mutated TRK receptors to assess a 'switch' model for RTK activation. In this model: (i) ligand binding stimulates activation loop tyrosine...
