Phosphorylation of Bruton's tyrosine kinase by c-Abl.

Published: December 2002

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is necessary for B-lymphocyte development. Mutation in the gene coding for Btk causes X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) in humans. Similar to Btk, c-Abl is a tyrosine kinase shuttling between the cytoplasm and the nucleus where it is involved in different functions depending on the localization. In this report we describe for the first time that c-Abl and Btk physically interact and that c-Abl can phosphorylate tyrosine 223 in the SH3 domain of Btk. Interestingly, the Btk sequence matched a v-Abl substrate [correction] identified from a randomized peptide library and was also highly related to a number of previously found c-Abl substrates.

Purpose: Mobocertinib is an oral epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets exon 20 insertion (ex20ins) mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This open-label, phase III trial (EXCLAIM-2: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04129502) compared mobocertinib versus platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment of ex20ins+ advanced/metastatic NSCLC.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe placental complication occurring after the 20th week of pregnancy. PE is associated with inflammation and an increased immune reaction against the fetus. TYRO3 and PROS1 suppress inflammation by clearing apoptotic cells.

Anlotinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown encouraging antitumor activity in platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian cancer. The efficacy of anlotinib as maintenance therapy in advanced ovarian cancer remains unclear. Therefore, we designed this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib maintenance therapy following first-line treatment with paclitaxel and platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced ovarian cancer.

Flotillin 1 and 2 are highly conserved and homologous members of the stomatin, prohibitin, flotillin, HflK/C (SPFH) family. These ubiquitous proteins assemble into hetero-oligomers at the cytoplasmic membrane in sphingolipid-enriched domains. Flotillins play crucial roles in various cellular processes, likely by concentrating sphingosine.

Introduction: Adults with relapsed or refractory Philadelphia chromosome-positive B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (R/R Ph+ BCP-ALL) have a dismal outcome. Blinatumomab as a single agent has shown activity in R/R Ph- BCP-ALL, and second or third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can produce high remission rates in Ph+ leukaemias. We aimed to assess the activity of blinatumomab and TKI in combination with intensive chemotherapy in the relapsed or refractory setting.
