Abstract
Tyrosine protein kinases carry out a newly described form of protein modification - phosphorylation of tyrosine residues. The transforming proteins of certain tumor viruses are tyrosine protein kinases and unscheduled phosphorylation of tyrosine in cellular proteins appears to be crucial for malignant transformation by these viruses. A primary effect of two cellular growth factors is to activate intracellular tyrosine protein kinases.Entities:
