abstractText | The Cbl protooncogene product has emerged as a negative regulator of receptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinases. We recently demonstrated that oncogenic Cbl mutants upregulate the endogenous tyrosine kinase signaling machinery when expressed in the NIH 3T3 cells, and identified the platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRalpha) as one of the tyrosine kinases targeted by these oncogenes. These findings suggested a role for the normal Cbl protein in negative regulation of the PDGFRalpha. However, the mechanism of such negative regulation remained to be determined. Here we show that overexpression of the wild-ubiquitination and degradation of receptor tyrosine kinases and suggest one potential mechanism for evolutionarily conserved negative regulatory influence of Cbl on tyrosine kinases. |
