| Abstract | The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor is a transmembrane glycoprotein composed of a large extracellular ligand-binding region connected to the cytoplasmic kinase domain by a single transmembrane (TM) region. To explore the role of the TM region in the process of receptor activation, we have generated EGF-receptor mutants with altered TM regions by utilizing in vitro site-directed mutagenesis. The TM regions of two mutant receptors were either extended (designated i626-3) or shortened (designated d625.3) by three hydrophobic amino acid residues. In the other two mutant receptors, hydrophobic amino acids were substituted by charged residues--i.e., Val-627 was replaced by glutamic acid (designated V627E) or Leu-642 was replaced by an arginine residue (designated L642R). NIH 3T3 cells lacking endogenous EGF receptors were transfected with constructs encoding either wild-type or mutant receptors and shown to express the receptor molecules using 125I-labeled EGF binding and immunoprecipitation experiments. The mutant receptors were expressed on the cell surface as polypeptides of Mr 170,000 exhibiting typical high- and low-affinity binding sites for 125I-labeled EGF. Similar to its effect on wild-type receptors, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate abolished the mutant-receptor high-affinity binding sites for EGF. Moreover, EGF was able to stimulate the kinase activities of wild-type and mutant receptors both in vitro and in living cells. The mutant receptors were also able to undergo EGF-induced receptor dimerization as revealed by cross-linking experiments with a bifunctional covalent cross-linking agent. These results are compatible with an intermolecular allosteric oligomerization model for receptor activation rather than with a model based on an intramolecular mechanism for receptor activation. |

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.
