Shc, Gab1, Grb2, mSOS, and MAPK kinase (MEK-1)) known to be used by single-transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) like the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (for a review see [ 6 ] ). When ERKs are activated after EGFR stimulation, an essential event is the sequential tyrosine phosphorylation of these intermediate proteins and their binding to the tyrosine phosphorylated EGFR before the GTP-loading of Ras.
Despite numerous reported differences, it does appear that diverse GPCRs share common mechanistic themes during ERK stimulation, including the tyrosine-phosphorylation of Shc and its complexing with Grb2, mSOS recruitment, the GTP-loading of Ras, and Raf-1 activation leading to MEK-1 phosphorylation [ 1 ] . However, the progression of each of these downstream events after GPCR stimulation depends first on the tyrosine phosphorylation of a membrane-bound protein that will be used as a scaffold, which will bind the other proteins (e.g.
