GRB2 bound to EGFR is active. 2 / 2

"We determined interaction partners to all cytosolic tyrosine residues of the four members of the ErbB-receptor family in an unbiased fashion by quantitative proteomics using pull-down experiments with pairs of phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated synthetic peptides. Each receptor had characteristic preferences for interacting proteins and most interaction partners had multiple binding sites on each receptor. EGFR and ErbB4 had several docking sites for Grb2, while ErbB3 was characterized by six binding sites for PI3K."

"Erbb1 recruites grb2 through sh2 domain;from these studies, we concluded that grb2 binds directly to the egfr at y-1068, to a lesser extent at y-1086, and indirectly at y-1173. Egfr has six binding sites for the adapter protein grb2, and erbb4 has five, each with different binding strength several tyrosine-based motifs recruit a number of signal transducers to the phosphorylated form of erbb1 such as the adaptor proteins growth-factor-receptor bound-2 (grb2) and src-homology-2-containing (shc)."
