Grb2-independent Recruitment of Gab1 Requires the C-terminal Lobe and Structural Integrity of the Met Receptor Kinase Domain
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Gab1 docking protein forms a platform for the assembly of a multiprotein signaling complex downstream from receptor tyrosine kinases. In general, recruitment of Gab1 occurs indirectly, via the adapter protein Grb2. In addition, Gab1 interacts with the Met/hepatocyte growth factor receptor in a Grb2-independent manner. This interaction requires a Met binding domain (MBD) in Gab1 and is essential for Met-mediated epithelial morphogenesis. The Gab1 MBD has been proposed to act as a phosphotyrosine binding domain that binds Tyr-1349 in the Met receptor. We show that a 16-amino acid motif within the Gab1 MBD is sufficient for interaction with the Met receptor, suggesting that it is unlikely that the Gab1 MBD forms a structured domain. Alternatively, the structural integrity of the Met receptor, and residues upstream of Tyr-1349 located in the C-terminal lobe of the kinase domain, are required for Grb2-independent interaction with the Gab1 MBD. Moreover, the substitution of Tyr-1349 with an acidic residue allows for the recruitment of the Gab1 MBD and for phosphorylation of Gab1. We propose that Gab1 and the Met receptor interact in a novel manner, such that the activated kinase domain of Met and the negative charge of phosphotyrosine 1349 engage the Gab1 MBD as an extended peptide ligand.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
