DEG_SCF_TRCP1_1 - The DSGxxS phospho-dependent degron binds the F box protein of the SCF-betaTrCP1 complex. The degron is found in various proteins that function in regulation of cell state. | |||||||
| PRLR_HUMAN | 348 | 353 | Binary | Physicochemical compatibility | Dual phosphorylation of S349 and S353 in the TrCP1-binding motif of Prolactin receptor (PRLR) targets the protein to the SCF ubiquitin ligase complex, which marks it for degradation. | ||
| PRLR_HUMAN | 348 | 353 | Binary | Pre‑translational | Alternative Splicing removes the degron motif of Prolactin receptor (PRLR) abrogating binding to F-box/WD repeat-containing protein 11 (FBXW11). SCF-beta-TrCP2 negatively regulates the long isoform of PRLR (Isoform 1 of Prolactin receptor (PRLR)). Should be noted that TrCP2 has a predominately cytoplasmic localisation compared to TrCP1 that is located in the nucleus. The mechanism for the down-regulation of the intermediate (Isoform Intermediate of Prolactin receptor (PRLR)) and short (Isoform Short form 1a of Prolactin receptor (PRLR) and Isoform Short form 1b of Prolactin receptor (PRLR)) that lack the TrCP degron is still not known. However it should be noted that the short and intermediate are either partially deficient or entirely deficient in mediating the signal transduction pathways induced by PRL (see Kine et al. (1999) (here) and Ross et al. (1997) (here)). This though is likely due to the missing STAT5-SH2-binding motif. | ||

| PRLR_HUMAN | 342 | 345 | Binary | Pre‑translational | Alternative Splicing removes the degron motif of Prolactin receptor (PRLR), abrogating binding to Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A (STAT5A). The PRLR S1a (Isoform Short form 1a of Prolactin receptor (PRLR)) and S1b and (Isoform Short form 1b of Prolactin receptor (PRLR)) isoforms were unable to mediate the transcriptional activation of the beta-casein promoter via the JAK-STAT5 pathway. Therefore these two splice variants act as dominant negatives on the full-length version LF (Isoform 1 of Prolactin receptor (PRLR)). Another study showed that different splice variants of heterodimers (e.g. LF/S1a, LF/S1b) that were able to induce JAK2 phosphorylation but not further signalling events due to lack of STAT recruitment (Qazi et al. (2006) (here)). | ||
