Kinase-active IGF1R phosphorylates IRS1 on tyrosine. 4 / 4
4 |

"At least nine intracellular substrates of the insulin/IGF-I receptor kinases have been identified (Fig. 2). Four of these belong to the family of insulin-receptor substrate (IRS) proteins9. Other substrates include Gab-1, p60dok, Cbl, APS and isoforms of Shc10."

"from http://www.ub.rug.nl/eldoc/dis/medicine/n.wilczak/c1.pdf The intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity of the IGF-I receptor is enhanced and phosphorylates multiple substrates, including IRS1 and IRS2 on tyrosine residues"

"upon binding of IGF1, the IGFR, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase, becomes phosphorylated and recruits the substrate IRS1, leading to the activation of the lipid kinase PI3K"

"Accordingly, under the cellular context of the elevated expression of IL- 6Ra on myeloma cells, it is assumed that IL-6Ra molecules are located close to IGF-I receptors at lipid rafts, and IL-6 stimulation triggers the complex formation of IL-6Ra not only with gp130 but also with IGF-I receptors, leading to autophosphorylation of IGF-I receptor b and subsequent acti- vation of PI-3 kinase-Akt pathways (Fig. 4) 79 ."
