| Abstract | Tie2 is an endothelial receptor tyrosine kinase that is required for both embryonic vascular development and tumor angiogenesis. There is considerable interest in understanding the mechanisms of Tie2 activation for therapeutic purposes. The recent solution of the Tie2 crystal structure suggests that Tie2 activity is autoinhibited by its carboxyl terminus. Here we investigated the role of the C tail in Tie2 activation, signaling, and function both in vitro and in vivo by deleting the C terminus of Tie2 (ΔCT). Compared to wild type Tie2, in vitroautophosphorylation and kinase activity were significantly enhanced by the ΔCT mutation. In NIH 3T3 cells expressing chimeric Tie2 receptors, both basal and ligand-induced tyrosine phosphorylation were markedly enhanced compared to wild type in several independent clones of Tie2-ΔCT. Moreover, the ΔCT mutation enhanced basal and ligand-dependent activation of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase. Enhanced Akt activation correlated with significant inhibition of staurosporine-induced apoptosis. These findings demonstrate that the Tie2 C tail performs a novel negative regulatory role in Tie2 signaling and function, and they provide important insights into the mechanisms by which the Tie2 kinase is activated. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
