Cbl mediated degradation of Lyn and Fyn induced by constitutive fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 activation supports osteoblast differentiation . ^^^ Immunoprecipitation studies showed that Lyn , Fyn , and FGFR 2 interacted with the ubiquitin ligase c Cbl and ubiquitin . ^^^ Transfection with c Cbl in which the RING finger was disrupted or with c Cbl with a point mutation that abolishes the binding ability of the Cbl phosphotyrosine binding domain restored Src kinase activity and Lyn , Fyn , and FGFR 2 levels and reduced ALP up regulation in mutant osteoblasts . ^^^ Thus , constitutive FGFR 2 activation induces c Cbl dependent Lyn and Fyn proteasome degradation , resulting in reduced Lyn and Fyn kinase activity , increased ALP expression , and FGFR 2 down regulation . ^^^ This reveals a common Cbl mediated negative feedback mechanism controlling Lyn , Fyn , and FGFR 2 degradation in response to overactive FGFR 2 and indicates a role for Cbl dependent down regulation of Lyn and Fyn in osteoblast differentiation induced by constitutive FGFR 2 activation . . ^^^ |
