"For instance, increased binding of GRB2 and SHC1 to EGFR was detected as early as 30 s, peaked at 2 min, and maintained with high intensity until 2 h (>60% of the maximal binding); in contrast, SOS1 and MAP4K3, which were also maximally detected at 2 min, were quickly dissociated as their amounts were decreased to <5% of the maxima by 30 min (Figure 4B)."

"We provide proof of concept for the detection of protein proximity pairs (β-Catenin:E-Cadherin and EGFR:GRB2), and confirm assay specificity through technical controls involving reagent omission experiments, and biologically by treatment with small molecule kinase inhibitors that interrupt kinase:adaptor complexes."
reach
"Many of the model predictions exhibited a potential scale reduction factor of below 1.2 immediately after the " learning " period (e.g., ErbB1 expression, phosphorylated ErbB1, Grb2 bound to ErbB1, and phosphorylated Shc) while other predictions were unable to converge for the entire prediction window (e.g., phosphorylated PLC-gamma at times greater than 2 minutes)."
sparser
"Competition experiments with synthetic phosphopeptides corresponding to known autophosphorylation sites on the EGFR demonstrated that phosphopeptides containing Y-1068, and to a lesser extent Y-1086, were able to inhibit the binding of Grb2 to the EGFR, while a Y-1173 peptide did not."
reach
"Epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate 8 (EPS8)/related to the N-terminus of tre oncogene (RN-TRE) and growth-factor receptor bound protein 2 (GRB2)/Ras and Rab interactor 1 (RIN1) have been reported to coordinate the function of Rab5 GEFs and GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) for the maintenance of normal trafficking of cell membrane receptors."
reach
"It appears that there are several redundant and possibly interdependent mechanisms, which involve : (a) EGFR binding to the clathrin endocytosis protein complex AP2, and to the phospho-tyrosine binding adaptor protein growth factor receptor bound protein 2 (Grb2); (b) ubiquitination of 15 lysines in the EGFR kinase domain by the E3 ubiquitin ligase Casitas B-lineage lymphoma (Cbl), and of 6 other lysines in the carboxy-terminus region; (c) acetylation of 3 of the latter lysines [XREF_BIBR]."
sparser
"Recent studies also found that PLA signals corresponding to EGFR-related interactions such as those between EGFR and GRB2 or between nonphosphorylated and phosphorylated forms of EGFR were higher in NSCLC cell lines positive for EGFR mutations than in those WT for EGFR [ xref – xref ]."
sparser
"We evaluated whether desensitization of EGF-induced STAT3 phosphorylation could be associated with GRB2 up-regulation and/or increased association of Grb2 to the EGFR in the transgenic mice overexpressing GH, but no significant differences in GRB2 protein content or GRB2 association to EGFR between normal and transgenic mice were found ( xref )."
reach
"The average value of 4 +/- 1 EGFR 's per EGFR and Grb2 complex from the FRET-FLIM-ICS experiments is in excellent agreement with the model prediction that the EGFR tetramer is the dominant Grb2 bound form, whereas the dominant Grb2-free form is the monomer, which also agrees well with the cluster size estimate of 1 +/- 0.3 EGFR 's from the cell averaged data."
sparser
"Therefore, our data with AG-1478 clearly demonstrate that (i) EGFR homomers are constitutively interacting with Grb2 in HEK293FT cells, which may be due to some constitutive activity of the receptor, at least with regard to the Grb2 pathway in this cell line, (ii) EGF- as well as HRG-induced Grb2 recruitment strictly depends on receptor activation (constitutive or ligand-induced), and (iii) the recruitment of Grb2 to HER3 is observed only when HER3 is engaged in a heteromer complex with another receptor subtype such as EGFR."
reach
"This observation suggests there is a pool of EGFR–Grb2 complexes that are capable of maintaining RAS activity at the plasma membrane and thus of sustaining ERK1/2 activity beyond the 15-min EGF stimulation.To directly test whether a small pool of EGFR–Grb2 complexes at the plasma membrane is responsible for sustained ERK1/2 activation, surface EGFRs were blocked by cetuximab, a humanized mouse EGFR mAb that competes with EGF for binding to EGFR and inhibits its downstream signaling (Kawamoto et al., 1983; Mandic et al., 2006; Yoshida et al., 2008)."
reach
"Thus, EGFR–Grb2 complexes, some presumably associated with SOS, are transiently positioned in close proximity to RAS while passing through the plasma membrane during the initial 1–5 min after EGF stimulation, which correlates with the maximal activation of RAS in HeLa cells (Pinilla-Macua et al., 2016)."
reach
"Subsequent internalization of ∼85–90% of EGFR–Grb2 complexes into early and sorting endosomes results in rapid (within 10 min) segregation of these complexes from all RAS species, which remain mainly localized at the plasma membrane, and from NRAS and HRAS, which are also present in PRC, Golgi, and TERC."
sparser
"The importance of the kinase domain of HER3 (not removed by the truncation) for EGFR-dependent Grb2 interaction is in agreement with the recent structural study showing that although the HER3 kinase domain is not functional in terms of kinase activity, it can activate the EGFR kinase domain by formation of the asymmetric dimer xref ."
reach
"As shown in Figure XREF_FIG, GSTP1 and GRB2 could be detected in the immunoprecipitation complex of phospho-EGFR antibody in 30 ng/mL EGF stimulated CNE2 cells, and could not be detected by the pretreatment of the cells with 1 mum EGFR inhibitor PD153035, which indicates that GSTP1 and GRB2 can interact with phospho-EGFR, are downstream targets of EGFR signaling pathway."
reach
"The model represents ErbB1 synthesis and degradation; EGF ligand binding to ErbB1; receptor dimerization and activation; activation of the signaling pathways associated with the binary interactions between ErbB1 + Shc, Shc + Grb2, ErbB1 + Shc-Grb2, ErbB1 + Grb2, and Grb2 + Sos; deactivation of ErbB1 following PTP + ErbB1 interactions; and dissociation of active Shc from ErbB1."
reach
"A plausible explanation for cooperativity is that when Cbl and Grb2 are simultaneously bound to EGFR (via pY1045 and pY1068 and pY1086, respectively), they are in a state of enforced proximity, which increases the likelihood of the three species (EGFR, Cbl and Grb2) of binding to each other XREF_BIBR."
reach
"The binding of Cbl and Grb2 to EGFR depended on protein concentrations and binding affinities : protein concentrations were carefully measured, while binding affinities were indirectly determined by fitting ubiquitination dose response curves under various experimental conditions, within well defined experimental constrains taken from published studies (XREF_SUPPLEMENTARY)."

"For instance, increased binding of GRB2 and SHC1 to EGFR was detected as early as 30 s, peaked at 2 min, and maintained with high intensity until 2 h (> 60% of the maximal binding); in contrast, SOS1 and MAP4K3, which were also maximally detected at 2 min, were quickly dissociated as their amounts were decreased to < 5% of the maxima by 30 min (XREF_FIG)."

"The phosphorylated tyrosine residues of EGF receptor act as an initiation signal to recruit the Shc- Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2)-Ras complex and phospholipase Cγ in the cytoplasm, resulting in Son of sevenless-mediated Ras activation and intracellular Ca -mediated protein kinase C activation [2]."
reach
"Of greater importance, we further show that RhoU is also capable of synergizing with activated EGFR in JNK and AP1 mediated transcriptional activity in a manner dependent on SH3 binding, as the DM RhoU, which is physically uncoupled from GRB2 and EGFR complex, is unable to synergize with activated EGFR in either JNK and AP1 activation or increased cell motility."
sparser
"Unlike the tyrosine phosphorylation and Grb2 interaction with the EGFR, repeated peroxide exposure (at R4 response point) did not significantly affect Pyk2 Tyr-881 phosphorylation (Figures xref and xref ) or the Grb2 content of the Pyk2 immunoprecipitates (Figures xref and xref )."
sparser
"The highest photo-cross-linking
yield for Grb2-D104mPyTK was observed when cells were stimulated with
EGF for 15 min (Figure S11B in), indicating
that the Grb2–EGFR interaction is transient and dynamic, resembling
some other known EGF-dependent protein–protein interactions. xref "

"Tyrosine 1068 (Y1068) phosphorylation of EGFR is crucial for the activation of downstream signaling pathways through the interactions of EGFR with growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) or Grb2-associated binder 1 xref and serves as a predictive biomarker for assessing clinical responses to EGFR-TKIs xref ."
sparser
"This reduced EGFR kinase dependence of the peroxide-induced R4 response was correlated to a significant reduction in the degree of peroxide-induced EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation ( xref ), attenuated peroxide-induced association of EGFR with Grb2 (Figures xref and xref ), and a strong redistribution of EGFR away from the plasma membrane to the cytosol (Figures xref and xref )."

"We reconstituted an EGFR:Grb2 protein condensation-phase transition on supported membranes using the C-terminal region of EGFR (residues 991 to 1186, where the signal peptide of EGFR is not included in numbering), which is expressed along with a His6 tag and a SUMO tag at the N-terminal end of the construct."

"Furthermore, C. psittaci-specific Pmp17G activated Chlamydial invasion in a dependent way by recognizing EGFR, activating Tyr1068 phosphorylation of EGFR, and forming the EGFR–Grb2 complex, contributing to intracellular attachment and internalization during C. psittaci infection (18)."
sparser
"Both CME and several NCE pathways are involved in EGFR internalization. [ xref ] The ubiquitination of EGFR is necessary for all internalization pathways, and the ubiquitin ligase responsible for EGFR ubiquitination is Cbl, a ring‐finger domain E3 ubiquitin ligase. [ xref ] Cbl can directly bind to EGFR, or indirectly bind to EGFR via the adaptor protein Grb2. [ xref , xref ] The EGFR‐Grb2‐Cbl complex is necessary for NCE, with previous studies showing that EGFR mutants lacking Grb2 binding sites are completely defective for NCE. [ xref , xref ] Our results indicated that SGCE knockdown caused induction of EGFR internalization, and increased the interaction between EGFR and c‐Cbl but not that between EGFR and Grb2."
sparser
"Work done by Gay et al. using CGP78850 (compound 41 , Fig. xref ), a selective Grb2 SH2 domain-binding inhibitor having a mixed phosphoramidite/phenyl ester – protected phosphonic acid group, showed that this compound could block the association of Grb2 with activated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in living cells and inhibit the growth of cells driven by PTK signaling through Ras (Gay et al., xref )."
sparser
"Notably, unlike EGFR and RIP1, rasfonin began to increase the level of Grb2 at a dose of 1 μM (Fig. xref ), whereas its treatment provided a more than 3 fold increase in Grb2 than either EGFR (3.86 fold: Grb2/actin minus EGFR/actin) or RIP1 (3.18 fold: Grb2/actin minus RIP1/actin) at the same concentration (12 μM), suggesting that, in addition to RIP1, both EGFR and Grb2 may be associated with the inhibition of rasfonin on autophagy and may play a regulatory role in rasfonin-dependent necroptosis."
sparser
"To analyze the spatiotemporal regulation of EGFR-Grb2 interactions in living cells, we have combined imaging microscopy with a modified method of measuring fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) on a pixel-by-pixel basis using EGFR fused to cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) and Grb2 fused to yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)."
reach
"The importance of the kinase domain of HER3 (not removed by the truncation) for EGFR dependent Grb2 interaction is in agreement with the recent structural study showing that although the HER3 kinase domain is not functional in terms of kinase activity, it can activate the EGFR kinase domain by formation of the asymmetric dimer XREF_BIBR."

"This case study identifies one such mutation: a novel EGFR-GRB2 RNA fusion detected using whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) that demonstrated a remarkable response to osimertinib, a third-generation EGFR TKI, in a patient with diffusely metastatic pulmonary adenocarcinoma with multiple cerebral metastases."
reach
"EGFR is able to activate PI3K through a series of reactions : active EGFR binds adaptor protein Grb2, which recruits the docking protein Gab1, which contains pYXXM motifs to which SH2 domains on the regulatory subunit of PI3K (p85) bind, thereby bringing the catalytic subunit of PI3K (p110) in proximity to its membrane bound lipid substrates [XREF_BIBR]."
reach
"We developed a PLA to detect EGFR and GRB2 complexes that could be quantified using the AQUA (R) method of automated quantitative immunofluorescence (QIF) 18, eliminating any subjective interpretation of the results and allowing the objective and reproducible measurement of the obtained signal."
sparser
"The model is an extension of our earlier model xref and now includes EGFR–Grb2 binding in addition to
the processes considered in the original model (i.e., ligand–receptor
binding, self-interactions capable of mediating receptor oligomerization,
and receptor autophosphorylation)."
sparser
"Besides
the Ras-Raf-MEK signaling, the PI3K-Akt pathway is the
second major EGFR-mediated signal transduction pathway, involving
binding of Grb2 to the EGFR and subsequent association with Gab1 (Grb2-associated-binding
protein 1; predominantly via the C-terminal SH3 domain) and the p85
subunit of PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinases; via pTyr residues of
Gab1), resulting in the production of phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-triphosphate
(PIP3) and activation of Akt. xref Like SOS1,
Gab1 forms a constitutive complex with Grb2, xref whereas the association between Grb2:Gab1 and PI3K-p85 can be enhanced
by EGF addition xref ( xref E–H)."

"The Src homology 2 domain-containing protein Grb2 binds to the tyrosine-phosphorylated ErbB1 molecule and activates at least three signalling pathways, Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT, and JAK-STAT signalling pathways, for cell proliferation, survival, and migration, and their continuous abnormal activation eventually leads to cancer cell tumourigenesis, invasiveness, and metastasis xref – xref , xref – xref ."
reach
"To assay the interaction between EGFR and Grb2 in yeast, we used the intracellular domain of EGFR with L834R mutation as the membrane protein by fusing several types of lipidation motifs at both the N-terminus (Gpa1p motif; Gpa1N) and the C-terminus (Ras1p motif; Ras1C and Ste18p motif; Ste18C)."
reach
"The results of the intracellular domain of EGFR and Grb2 interaction showed that our Ggamma recruitment systems could be exploited as a convenient heterologous system to discern the strong binders to the phosphotyrosines in the intracellular domain of EGFR, and therefore would provide the basis for studying other receptor tyrosine kinases as well."
sparser
"To directly test whether a small pool of EGFR–Grb2 complexes at the plasma membrane is responsible for sustained ERK1/2 activation, surface EGFRs were blocked by cetuximab, a humanized mouse EGFR mAb that competes with EGF for binding to EGFR and inhibits its downstream signaling ( xref ; xref ; xref )."
sparser
"Secondly, these GPCRs may not be recruiting Grb2 as part of their activation process or, alternatively, there is an association but it is different in nature to that generated by the AT 1 R and V 1b R. Indeed, for a number of the GPCRs that did not show enhanced EGFR-Grb2 association, we actually observed decreased BRET ratios following ligand stimulation."
sparser
"It could be reasonably argued that this reflects dynamic changes in an equilibrium between association, dissociation and reconfiguration of putative EGFR-Grb2 complexes – where the balance may favor dissociation or reconfiguration that leads to an increased distance between the donor and acceptor moieties."
sparser
"Thus, EGFR–Grb2 complexes, some presumably associated with SOS, are transiently positioned in close proximity to RAS while passing through the plasma membrane during the initial 1–5 min after EGF stimulation, which correlates with the maximal activation of RAS in HeLa cells ( xref )."

sparser
"In the meantime, during the utilization of FRET imaging microscopy by researchers to study receptor complexes implicated in Ras activation and Ras binding proteins in EGFR endocytosis, it was discovered that GRB2 can interact with EGFR either directly or by binding with Shc on the cell surface and endosomes, thereby recruit Ras [ xref ], because when the mutant YFP-Shc-3F, where all three GRB2 binding sites (Tyr239, Tyr240, and Tyr 317) were replaced by phenylalanines, was co-expressed with GRB2-CFP and EGF-Rh, both GRB2 and Shc were effectively drawn into the endosomes."
sparser
"Additionally, there is also evidence to suggest that the EGFR tetramer may be the predominant form bound to GRB2 within the cell, as indicated by the distribution and proportion of GRB2-bound EGFR oligomers using techniques of image correlation spectroscopy (ICS) and lifetime-detected Förster resonance energy transfer (also known as FLIM-based FRET or FLIM-FRET) [ xref ]."
sparser
"In contrast, after EGF addition, Grb2-rsTagRFP photoswitching resulted in a striking and reversible ~20% modulation of the EGFR-EYFP fluorescence both at the plasma membrane and on endosomes, strongly suggesting the occurrence of pcFRET due to the EGFR-Grb2 interactions at these locations."

"As mentioned above, the ubiquitination regulation of EGFR by Cbl is either directly, through binding to its pY1045 site, or indirectly, through Grb2 binding to the pY1068 or pY1086 site. xref Our experiment ruled out the possibility of Cbl indirectly binding to EGFR through Grb2 (Figure xref )."
sparser
"These discoveries were extended to mammalian systems, where it was shown that the Grb2 SH2 domain could inducibly bind the tyrosine phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) while bound constitutively to son of sevenless (SOS), a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Ras."
sparser
"Foremost among these is the Ras/Raf/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, in which the adaptor protein Grb2 binds to phosphorylated tyrosine residues of EGFR, thus activating the Son of sevenless protein. xref This protein in turn activates the G-protein Ras, which initiates a cascade of phosphorylation of MAPKs, which are specific serine/threonine kinases."
sparser
"However, this notion was challenged by the demonstration that the majority of active EGF receptors and associated signaling molecules localize to early endosomes shortly after ligand stimulation [ xref – xref ], and that active EGF receptor interacts with Grb2 [ xref ] and engages the major signaling pathways required for cell survival and mitogenesis after endocytosis [ xref , xref ]."
sparser
"Ang II also increased the association of the adaptor protein Grb2 with the EGF-R. These findings indicate that Src and Pyk2 act upstream of the EGF-R and that the majority of Ang II-induced ERK phosphorylation is dependent on trans-activation of the EGF-R. Ang II-induced ERK activation in C9 cells is initiated by a PKCdelta-dependent but Ca(2+)-independent mechanism and is mediated by the Src/Pyk2 complex through trans-activation of the EGF-R."
sparser
"Cbl was basally associated with the adaptor protein growth factor receptor-binding protein 2 (Grb2), and this interaction was further enhanced by EGF stimulation; however, the interaction was entirely mediated via the Grb2 Src homology 3 (SH3) domains, suggesting that binding of Grb2 SH2 domain to EGF receptor provides one mechanism of Cbl's association with the EGF receptor."

"We have previously examined the localization of fluorescently labeled Grb2 expressed at the physiological level and found that EGFR–Grb2 complexes are maintained and accumulate in endosomes in HeLa cells during at least the first hour of cell stimulation by EGFR ligands (Fortian and Sorkin, 2014)."
