Thus, our data suggest that the tyrosine phosphorylated Cas SD acts as a decoy for endogenous Cas binding proteins and blocks signaling via crk to the activation of JNK, as well as transformation of cells by the oncogene v-crk.
Tyrosine phosphorylated Cas SD acts as a decoy for v-crk and endogenous c-crk
The ability of the tyrosine phosphorylated Cas SD to act as a decoy suggests that while tyrosine phosphorylation of the substrate domain of Cas may be important for its function in assembling downstream signals, specific localization of Cas may also be critical for its downstream functions.
However, in their studies the major decoy receptor for TRAIL, DcR1, was found expressed in trophoblast, not in decidua, while another decoy receptor, DcR2, was expressed by placental macrophages.
Finally, we show that this chimera can act as a decoy to selectively disrupt signaling events downstream of the tyrosine phosphorylated SD of endogenous Cas, acting as a dominant negative mutant.
