Note=May play a role in a range of diseases with a vascular component, including neovascularization of tumors, psoriasis and inflammation. Function TIE2_HUMAN Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for ANGPT1, ANGPT2 and ANGPT4 and regulates angiogenesis, endothelial cell survival, proliferation, migration, adhesion and cell spreading, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, but also maintenance of vascular quiescence. Has anti-inflammatory effects by preventing the leakage of proinflammatory plasma proteins and leukocytes from blood vessels. Required for normal angiogenesis and heart development during embryogenesis. Required for post-natal hematopoiesis. After birth, activates or inhibits angiogenesis, depending on the context. Inhibits angiogenesis and promotes vascular stability in quiescent vessels, where endothelial cells have tight contacts. In quiescent vessels, ANGPT1 oligomers recruit TEK to cell-cell contacts, forming complexes with TEK molecules from adjoining cells, and this leads to preferential activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and the AKT1 signaling cascades. In migrating endothelial cells that lack cell-cell adhesions, ANGT1 recruits TEK to contacts with the extracellular matrix, leading to the formation of focal adhesion complexes, activation of PTK2/FAK and of the downstream kinases MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK3/ERK1, and ultimately to the stimulation of sprouting angiogenesis. ANGPT1 signaling triggers receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation at specific tyrosine residues that then serve as binding sites for scaffold proteins and effectors. Signaling is modulated by ANGPT2 that has lower affinity for TEK, can promote TEK autophosphorylation in the absence of ANGPT1, but inhibits ANGPT1-mediated signaling by competing for the same binding site. Signaling is also modulated by formation of heterodimers with TIE1, and by proteolytic processing that gives rise to a soluble TEK extracellular domain. The soluble extracellular domain modulates signaling by functioning as decoy receptor for angiopoietins. TEK phosphorylates DOK2, GRB7, GRB14, PIK3R1; SHC1 and TIE1. Publication Abstract from PubMed The endothelial cell (EC)-specific receptor tyrosine kinases Tie1 and Tie2 are necessary for the remodeling and maturation of blood and lymphatic vessels. Angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) growth factor is a Tie2 agonist, whereas Ang2 functions as a context-dependent agonist/antagonist. The orphan receptor Tie1 modulates Tie2 activation, which is induced by association of angiopoietins with Tie2 in cis and across EC-EC junctions in trans Except for the binding of the C-terminal angiopoietin domains to the Tie2 ligand-binding domain, the mechanisms for Tie2 activation are poorly understood. We report here the structural basis of Ang1-induced Tie2 dimerization in cis and provide mechanistic insights on Ang2 antagonism, Tie1/Tie2 heterodimerization, and Tie2 clustering. We find that Ang1-induced Tie2 dimerization and activation occurs via the formation of an intermolecular beta-sheet between the membrane-proximal (third) Fibronectin type III domains (Fn3) of Tie2. The structures of Tie2 and Tie1 Fn3 domains are similar and compatible with Tie2/Tie1 heterodimerization by the same mechanism. Mutagenesis of the key interaction residues of Tie2 and Tie1 Fn3 domains decreased Ang1-induced Tie2 phosphorylation and increased the basal phosphorylation of Tie1, respectively. Furthermore, the Tie2 structures revealed additional interactions between the Fn 2 (Fn2) domains that coincide with a mutation of Tie2 in primary congenital glaucoma that leads to defective Tie2 clustering and junctional localization. Mutagenesis of the Fn2-Fn2 interface increased the basal phosphorylation of Tie2, suggesting that the Fn2 interactions are essential in preformed Tie2 oligomerization. The interactions of the membrane-proximal domains could provide new targets for modulation of Tie receptor activity.
