“…c-Cbl is both an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in the negative regulation of protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) (Levkowitz et al, , 2000Miyake et al, 1999;Waterman et al, 1999;Rao et al, 2001;Yokouchi et al, 2001) and an adaptor protein involved in multiple biological phenomena, including cytoskeletal events (Tanaka et al, 1996;Ojaniemi et al, 1997;Meng and Lowell, 1998;Sanjay et al, 2001;Scaife et al, 2003a, b;Haglund et al, 2004). In several instances, tyrosine phosphorylation of c-Cbl has been shown to be crucial for c-Cbl-mediated adaptor effects (Ojaniemi et al, 1997;Feshchenko et al, 1999;Sanjay et al, 2001). …”
