A conformational sensor based on genetic code expansion reveals an autocatalytic component in EGFR activation

Upon ligand binding epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) dimerizes and activates its intrinsic kinase to auto-phosphorylate EGFR. Here, the authors engineer and image a FRET-based conformational EGFR indicator which reveals that activation loop phosphorylation induces a catalytically active confo...

Sumario:Upon ligand binding epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) dimerizes and activates its intrinsic kinase to auto-phosphorylate EGFR. Here, the authors engineer and image a FRET-based conformational EGFR indicator which reveals that activation loop phosphorylation induces a catalytically active conformation in EGFR monomers.
