Discoidin domain receptor 1 belongs to a subfamily of tyrosine kinase receptors activated by various types of collagen. Alternative splicing in the juxtamembrane region of the receptor results in the insertion of 37 amino acids. Here we used primer flanking the juxtamembrane region to search for additional isoforms. From human colon carcinoma Colo 206F cells, we identified two novel isoforms, DDR1d and DDR1e. In the DDR1d sequence, exon 11 and 12 are deleted, which results in a frame‐shift mutation and premature termination of translation. DDR1e arises from an alternative usage of a splice acceptor site in exon 10 and deletion of exon 11 and12. Both new isoforms are predicted to be membrane‐anchored, but kinase‐deficient, receptors. Transcripts for DDR1d and DDR1e were present to various degrees in a panel of human colon cancer cell lines. Using antibodies to several different receptor epitopes, we found correlating expression of DDR1d and DDR1e protein with the expected molecular weight of 68 and 95 kDa in colon carcinoma cell lines. Despite the abundant expression of truncated DDR1d in Colo 206F cells, stimulation with collagen induced full‐length receptor phosphorylation, thereby suggesting a lack of dominant‐negative inhibition by DDR1d. Exogenous overexpression of DDR1d in transient transfection assays supported a nondominant negative mechanism of signal modulation.
Die Ganglienbiocker verschiedener Struktur allein oder in Kombination mit anderen Antihypertensiva -haben die Prognose der malignen oder deutlich progredienten essentiellen Hypertonie zweifellos wesentlich gebessert (9, 13, 14, 21). Die Schwierigkeiten der Einstellung und Dauerbehandlung ambulanter Patienten sowie die Nebenerscheinungen, hervorgerufen durch Blockierung der sympathischen und parasympathischen Ganglien, verhindern heute noch, auch bei kombinierter Anwendung mit den Salidiuretika, eine ausgedehnte Routine-Anwendung. Die Salidiuretika allein wirken wohl hypotensiv, aber relativ schwach und vor-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
