*[[Hepatocyte growth factor]] and [[Hepatocyte growth factor receptor]]
*[[Hepatocyte growth factor]] and [[Hepatocyte growth factor receptor]] (HGFR). HGFR belongs to Receptor tyrosine kinases, class VIII.
The A loop of the wt receptor contains 2 tyrosines at position 1234 and 1235. When these 2 residues become phosphorylated, the kinase can become active. A unique part of the c-met structure is the pair of <scene name='Hepatocyte_growth_factor_receptor/Tyrisine_docking_sites/1'>tyrosine residues (1349 and 1356)</scene>. These tyrosines are necessary for normal c-met signaling. When these 2 tyrosines were substituted with with phenylalanine in mice, the mice had an embryonically lethal phenotype and defects were found in placenta, liver, muscles and nerves. In a wt c-met, these sites will become phosphorylated and act as docking sites for many different transducers and adapters. Upon phosphorylation, these tyrosines can bind with Src homology 2 (SH2) domains and phophotyrosine-binding (PTB), and therefore bind many effectors that will cause downstream effects such as cell proliferation, scattering and inhibition of apoptosis. This receptor follows the typical structure of a protein kinase, with a bilobal structure. The N-terminal contains <scene name='Hepatocyte_growth_factor_receptor/Beta_sheets/1'>β-sheets</scene> and is linked through a hinge to the C lobe, which is full of α helices. This particular kinase domain is very similar to the domains of the insulin receptor kinase and fibroblast growth factor receptor kinase.<ref>PMID: 14559966</ref> This structure is made up of many α-helices that move in the transformation from inactive to active kinase. Some of these helices are conserved in many different tyrosine kinases. C-met does show a divergence from other tyrosine kinases (such as IRK and FGFRK) in the helix formed at the N-terminus, before the core kinase domain, in residues <scene name='Hepatocyte_growth_factor_receptor/1060-1069/1'>1060-1069</scene>. The αA is in contact with αC and so causes αC to be in a slightly different orientation than in FGFRK and IRK. Residues Leu-1062, Val-1066, and Val-1069 of αA <scene name='Hepatocyte_growth_factor_receptor/A_and_c_intercalating/1'>intercalate</scene> with with residues Leu-1125 and Ile-1129 of αC. There is another <scene name='Hepatocyte_growth_factor_receptor/A_and_c_intercalating/2'>interaction</scene> between the residues Ile-1053, Leu-1055 and Leu-1058 of αA and Ile-1118 and Val-1121 of αC. Because of the movement of αC during activation of the kinase, it is an assumption that αA is also part of the kinase activation upon ligand binding.

*[[Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor]] and [[Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor]] (VEGFR). VEGFR belongs to [[Receptor tyrosine kinases]], class IV.
<scene name='Vascular_Endothelial_Growth_Factor/Vegf-a_opening/1'>VEGF-A</scene>  is a homodimer composed of two 23 kDa subunits. VEGF-A exists in a number of different isoforms following alternative splicing of its precursor mRNA <ref>PMID: 11181169</ref>. In humans, 6 variants have been found: VEGF-A-121, VEGF-A-145, VEGF-A-165, VEGF-A-183, VEGF-A-189, and VEGF-A-206, with VEGF-A-165 the most abundantly expressed. All VEGF-A isoforms bind to VEGFR-1 and -2.
The amino acids determined to be <scene name='Vascular_Endothelial_Growth_Factor/Vegf-a_binding_to_vegfr1/2'>critical to binding to VEGFR-1</scene> are D63, L66, and E67. VEGF-A binding by VEGFR-1 leads to cellular proliferation, migration, and increased cellular permeability resulting in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. Those residues <scene name='Vascular_Endothelial_Growth_Factor/Vegf-a_binding_to_vegfr2/2'>critical to binding to VEGFR-2</scene>  are I43, I46, Q79, I83, K84 and P85.<ref>pmid:9207067</ref>  Binding of VEGF-A to VEGFR-2 results in similar Vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, but also lymphangiogenesis in embryos. The remainder of the <scene name='Vascular_Endothelial_Growth_Factor/Vegf-a_full_binding_site/1'>binding pocket </scene> is formed by D34, S50, E64, and F36. It is upon binding of VEGFR by VEGF that the subsequent signal cascade is initiated leading to angiogenesis, etc.<ref>pmid:8621427</ref>
<scene name='Vascular_Endothelial_Growth_Factor/Vegf-e_opening/1'>VEGF-E</scene> consists of a homodimer that is covalently linked by two intermolecular disulfide bonds between <scene name='41/411433/Cys51-cys60/1'>Cys51 and Cys 60</scene>.
Each monomer contains a central antiparallel beta sheet, with the canonical <scene name='41/411433/Knot_new/3'>cysteine knot </scene> found in other VEGFs. <ref>PMID:1396586</ref> The knot consists of an eight residue ring formed by the backbone of residues 57-61 and 102-104 and intramolecular disulfide bridges Cys57-Cys102 and Cys61-Cys104, and a third bridge, Cys26-Cys68, that passes perpendicularly through the ring. Each VEGF-E monomer contains an amino terminal alpha helix and three solvent accessible loop regions, L2, <scene name='41/411433/Vegf-e_l1_l3/3'>L1 and L3 </scene>.
are able to form a complex hydrogen bond network as well as extensive hydrophobic contacts with VEGFR making these loops ideal receptor specificity determinants.  Residues: P34, S36, T43, P50, R46, D63, E64, and E67 make up the <scene name='Vascular_Endothelial_Growth_Factor/Vegf-e_binding_site/1'>VEGF-E binding pocket </scene>and are critical for binding to VEGFR-2 as determined by alanine mutagenesis.<ref> PMID:16672228</ref> Further, the salt bridge between <scene name='41/411433/Vegf-e_salt_bridge/4'>R46 and E64 </scene> is believed to be the source of VEGF-E’s VEGFR-2 specificity by preventing binding to VEGFR-1. <ref>PMID:15272021</ref>
[[Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor]]s (VEGFRs) are [[tyrosine kinase receptors]] responsible for binding with [[VEGF]] to initiate signal cascades that stimulate angiogenesis among other effects. The tyrosine kinase domain of VEGFR-2 is separated into 2 segments with a 70 amino acid long kinase insert region. Upon binding VEGFA and subsequent dimerization, VEGFR-2 is autophosphoryalted at the carboxy terminal tail and kinase insert region, 6 tyrosine residues of VEGFR2 are autophosphorylated. <scene name='41/411436/Cv/2'>Auto-phosphorylation of residues 1054 and 1059</scene> within the activation loop of VEGFR2 leads to increased kinase activity. <scene name='41/411436/Cv/4'>Anti-tumor inhibitor binding site</scene> ([[3c7q]]).
