A four-switch long-range allosteric network controls FGF receptor kinase conformational dynamics as well as activity and is applicable to other receptor tyrosine kinases.
Tailoring Boolean models to 488 prostate cancer patients and 8 cell lines data allows for the experimentally validated personalisation of drug treatments.

A new luciferase and fluorescent reporter system enables rapid and efficient in-cell profiling of the majority of protein kinase oncogenes known to date.
Beyond its well-accepted function in metastasis, non-receptor tyrosine kinase FER also controls ovarian tumor cell proliferation through FER-IRS4-AKT signaling axis, making itself as a promising druggable target for the disease.

Phosphorylation of the Wnt receptor LRP6 directly inhibits glycogen synthase kinase-3 by acting as a pseudosubstrate that stabilizes an active conformation of the enzyme, identical to autoinhibition by phosphorylation of its N terminus.
The transmembrane protein Kit Ligand and the Kit receptor tyrosine kinase are required for synapse function between specific cell types in the mouse cerebellum.

Ligand binding to the ectodomain of the insulin-like growth factor receptor destabilises an autoinhibitory inter-subunit interaction, which allows the transmembrane domains to associate and the intracellular regions to autophosphorylate.
