Control of Hydrophobic Helix Topography in Membranes by Lipid Composition

Abstract: Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) play key roles in cell growth, differentiation, metabolism, and migration. These single-pass receptors conduct biochemical signals by dimerizing in the plasma membrane. The process of lateral dimerization, which controls the distribution between inactive monomers and active dimers, serves as a key regulator of the biochemical processes that determine cell fate. Enhanced dimerization leads to persistent autocrine activation and tumorigenesis, or impaired growth. An understanding… Show more
