Popis: Receptors for insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IR and IGFIR) consisting of the alpha2beta2 structure are protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs). Carboxyl-terminal (CT) domains of their beta subunits are structurally diverse while the PTK domains share the highest homology. Interactions between CT and PTK domains of IR and IGFIR were studied by means of PTK activity, fluorescence energy transfer or surface plasmon resonance using BIAcore. We present evidence that IGFIR CT directly interacts with both IGFIR and IR. Although binding to both receptors, stimulation of PTK activity only occurs with IR but not IGFIR.
