Direct binding of Cbl to Tyr(568) and Tyr(936) of the stem cell factor receptor/c-Kit is required for ligand-induced ubiquitination, internalization and degradation
The ubiquitin E3 ligase Cbl has been shown to negatively regulate tyrosine kinase receptors, including the stem cell factor receptor/c-Kit. Impaired recruitment of Cbl to c-Kit results in a deregulated positive signalling that eventually can contribute to carcinogenesis. Here, we present results showing that Cbl is activated by the SFKs (Src family kinases) and recruited to c-Kit in order to trigg
