Evolutionary Divergence of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Alpha Receptor Signaling Mechanisms

Abstract

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) direct diverse cellular and developmental responses by stimulating a relatively small number of overlapping signaling pathways. Specificity may be determined by RTK expression patterns or by differential activation of individual signaling pathways. To address this issue we generated knock-in mice in which the extracellular domain of the mouse platelet-derived growth factor alpha receptor (PDGFalphaR) is fused to the cytosolic domain of Drosophila Torso (alpha(Tor)) or the mouse fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (alpha(FR)). alpha(Tor) homozygous embryos exhibit significant rescue of neural crest and angiogenesis defects normally found in PDGFalphaR-null embryos yet fail to rescue skeletal or extraembryonic defects. This phenotype was associated with the ability of alpha(Tor) to stimulate the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway to near wild-type levels but failure to completely activate other pathways, such as phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase. The alpha(FR) chimeric receptor fails to rescue any aspect of the PDGFalphaR-null phenotype. Instead, alpha(FR) expression leads to a gain-of-function phenotype highlighted by ectopic bone development. The alpha(FR) phenotype was associated with a failure to limit MAP kinase signaling and to engage significant PI3-kinase response. These results suggest that precise regulation of divergent downstream signaling pathways is critical for specification of RTK function.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
