13. A distinctive family of embryonic protein-tyrosine kinase receptors.
Two closely related protein-tyrosine kinases with the characteristics of growth factor receptors were identified by screening a chicken embryo cDNA expression library with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies and were designated Cek2 and Cek3 (chicken embryo kinases 2 and 3). Cek2 and Cek3 are structurally related to Cek1, a chicken basic fibroblast growth factor

14. Novel Nuclear Signaling Pathway Mediates Activation of Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 Gene by Type 1 and Type 2 Angiotensin II Receptors
In bovine adrenal medullary cells synergistically acting type 1 and type 2 angiotensin II (AII) receptors activate the fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) gene through a unique AII-responsive promoter element. Both the type 1 and type 2 AII receptors and the downstream cyclic adenosine 1′,3′-monophosphate- and protein kinase C-dependent signaling pat

15. Effects of c-myc expression on cell cycle progression.
We used targeted homologous recombination to disrupt one c-myc gene copy in a diploid fibroblast cell line and found that a twofold reduction in Myc expression resulted in lower exponential growth rates and a lengthening of the G0-to-S-phase transition (M. Shichiri, K. D. Hanson and J. M. Sedivy, Cell Growth Differ. 4:93-104, 1993). Myc is a transcription fa

16. High-affinity RNA ligands to basic fibroblast growth factor inhibit receptor binding.
We have isolated RNA ligands with low-nanomolar affinity and high specificity to basic fibroblast growth factor from a pool of 10(14) molecules containing 30 randomized positions by the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) procedure. High-affinity ligands could be classified into two families based on sequence and secondary struc

17. Tight folding of acidic fibroblast growth factor prevents its translocation to the cytosol with diphtheria toxin as vector.
A fusion protein of acidic fibroblast growth factor and diphtheria toxin A-fragment was disulfide-linked to the toxin B-fragment. The complex bound specifically to diphtheria toxin receptors, and subsequent exposure to low pH induced the fusion protein to translocate to the cytosol. Heparin, inositol hexaphosphate and inorganic sulfate strongly increased the

18. A confined variable region confers ligand specificity on fibroblast growth factor receptors: implications for the origin of the immunoglobulin fold.
Binding of cellular growth factors to their receptors constitutes a highly specific interaction and the basis for cell and tissue-type specific growth and differentiation. A unique feature of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors is the multitude of structural variants and an unprecedented degree of cross-reactivity between receptors and their various lig

19. Specific receptors for platelet-derived growth factor on cells derived from connective tissue and glia.
A cellular receptor for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) was demonstrated by incubation of 125I-labeled PDGF with human foreskin fibroblast cultures followed by liberation of cell-bound radioactivity with Triton X-100. The cellular binding of labeled PDGF in the presence of increasing amounts of unlabeled PDGF showed saturation; Scatchard analysis of bi

20. Related fibroblast growth factor receptor genes exist in the human genome.
We have isolated, from a human tumor cDNA library, a gene encoding a putative receptor-like protein-tyrosine kinase that we call TK14. The amino acid sequence of the TK14 protein is closely related to the available partial sequence of the mouse protein bek, and more distantly related to the sequences of a chicken basic fibroblast growth factor receptor (73%

21. Isolation of an additional member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor family, FGFR-3.
The fibroblast growth factors are a family of polypeptide growth factors involved in a variety of activities including mitogenesis, angiogenesis, and wound healing. Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) have previously been identified in chicken, mouse, and human and have been shown to contain an extracellular domain with either two or three immunoglobu

22. Cloning and expression of two distinct high-affinity receptors cross-reacting with acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors.
The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family consists of at least seven closely related polypeptide mitogens which exert their activities by binding and activation of specific cell surface receptors. Unanswered questions have been whether there are multiple FGF receptors and what factors determine binding specificity and biological response. We report the compl

23. Modulation of insulinlike growth factor I binding to human fibroblast monolayer cultures by insulinlike growth factor carrier proteins released to the incubation media.
The relative contributions of type I and type II insulinlike growth factor (IGF) receptors and IGF carrier proteins to the binding of IGF-I tracer to cultured human fibroblasts were determined in competitive binding experiments that used unlabeled insulin and synthetic insulin-IGF-I hybrid molecules containing the A chain of insulin and the B domain of IGF-I

24. Interleukin 1 is an autocrine regulator of human endothelial cell growth.
Proliferation of endothelial cells is regulated through the autocrine production of growth factors and the expression of cognate surface receptors. In this study, we demonstrate that interleukin 1 (IL-1) is an inhibitor of endothelial growth in vitro and in vivo. IL-1 arrested growing, cultured endothelial cells in G1 phase; inhibition of proliferation was d
