  • BCR and its close relative active BCR-related (ABR) localize at excitatory synapses
  • basic FUNCTION
  • promoting the exchange of RAC or CDC42-bound GDP by GTP thereby activating them
  • displaying serine/threonine kinase activity
  • PCAF and BCR signalling are essential for apoptotic cell death (PCAF and BCR signalling control cooperatively pre-mature B cell apoptosis via both depletions of DFFA and BIRC2)
  • ABR and BCR are the only GTPase-activating proteins to date that specifically negatively regulate Rac function in primary macrophages
  • BCR and ABR cooperate in negatively regulating acute inflammatory responses
  • represses the expression of PEBP1, continuously activates pERK1/2, and suppresses FOXM1 expression, resulting in proliferation of CML cells (
  • BCR-ABL increases FBXO5 phosphorylation and stability to prevent SKP2 protein degradation via APC/CDH1-induced ubiquitination and to enhance proliferation of CML cells
  • functional interaction between BCR-ABL and mitosis dysfunctions, due to compromised mitotic checkpoints, may have important implications for the generation of aneuploidy and CML progression
  • BCR and ABR have novel roles in the regulation of synaptic Rac1 signaling, synaptic plasticity, and learning and memory, and that excessive Rac1 activity negatively affects synaptic and cognitive functions
  • also acts via PPARG independent signaling
  • a RAC1 GTPase-activating protein that plays a key role in neuronal development
  • is involved in the regulation of neuronal development via control of the BCR GTPase-activating domain function by PTPRT

    a component
  • proximal BCR-ABL1 signaling network shows a modular and layered organization with an inner core of three leukemia transformation-relevant adaptor protein complexes (GRB2/GAB2/SHC1 complex, CRK complex and DOK1/DOK2 complex)
  • BCR-ABL1 suppresses autophagy through ATF5-mediated regulation of MTOR transcription
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding of the adaptor protein GRB2 to Tyr177 of BCR-ABL1 is crucial for the leukemic transformation of cells by BCR-ABL1
  • TGM2 bound to the Rac-binding pocket in the GTPase-activating domains of BCR and ABR, blocked BCR activity and, through this mechanism, increased levels of active GTP-bound Rac and EGF-stimulated membrane ruffling
  • BCR-ABL fusion oncogene frequently found in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells can up-regulate SKP2 expression via transcriptional activation
  • directly interact with DLG4, an abundant postsynaptic scaffolding protein
  • binds to DDX39B and binding of DDX39B to BCR is critical for BCR induced DNA synthesis in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC)
  • DDX329B/BCR interaction is important for BCR induced DNA synthesis
  • signaling cascades driven by the BCR and TLR9 have a newly identified meeting point at TBX21(
  • HAP1 interacts with BCR on microtubules to regulate neuronal differentiation
  • RICTOR positively regulates the early events of BCR signaling

    Janus kinase 2 regulates BCR-ABL signaling in chronic myeloid leukemia
    function of the BCR GTPase-activating domain could be modulated by protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor T (PTPRT), which is expressed principally in the brain
