Epithelial discoidin domain-containing receptor
FunctionEpithelial discoidin domain-containing receptor (DDR1 and DDR2) are extracellular matrix-sensing Receptor tyrosine kinases which are activated by collagen and are expressed in bronchial epithelium. They are responsible for maintaining the normal structure of skin and kidney epithelia[1]. DDR1 and DDR2 function as sensors for extracellular matrix and to regulate a wide range of cell functions from migration and proliferation to cytokine secretion and extracellular matrix homeostasis/remodeling[2]. See also Kinase-linked, enzyme-linked and related receptors. DiseaseDDR1 promotes inflammation in atherosclerosis, lung fibrosis and kidney injury[2] RelevanceDDR1 plays a consequential role in a variety of cancers[3]. A low DDR1/high DDR2 profile is associated with high tumor grade and may identify invasive carcinomas with worse prognosis[4]. Structural highlightsDDR1 contains a discoidin domain. This domain is about 150 amino acid long and is found in many blood coagulation factors. The structure of the complex between DDR1 and imatinib shows hydrogen bonds interactions between the anti-cancer drug and the kinase domain including bonds with the kinase allosteric site Asp-Phe-Gly (DFG motif)[5].
