Abstract: Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) execute their ubiquitous roles in the developing embryo, as well as in the adult, by binding and activating FGF receptor tyrosine kinases (FGFRs). FGFRs are single pass transmembrane receptors composed of an extracellular ligand binding region and a cytoplasmic region harboring the conserved tyrosine kinase domain. FGF-FGFR binding specificity is essential for the regulation of FGF signaling and is determined by primary sequence differences among FGFs and FGFRs. Similarly, specific recognition and tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular targets by the activated FGFR is a fundamental step in FGF signaling and determines which specific downstream pathways are activated and, hence, what cellular response ensues. Aberrant FGF signaling is responsible for a wide spectrum of human pathological conditions including skeletal syndromes, olfactory syndromes, phosphate wasting disorders and cancer. The diversity of these diseases reflects the versatile and vital functions that FGFs play in human biology and provides a strong impetus for a thorough understanding of FGF signaling at the molecular level. The specific aims of this proposal are I. Establish the pattern of, and determine the structural basis for, FGF-FGFR binding specificity/promiscuity. II. Elucidate the structural basis for autoinhibition in the extracellular region of FGFR. III. Elucidate the structural basis by which FGFR interacts with intracellular signaling molecules. IV. Elucidate the structural basis by which FGFR kinase domain mutations result in constitutive activation of FGFRs in human skeletal syndromes and cancer. The primary means to accomplish these aims will be X-ray crystallography, coupled with surface plasmon resonance and steady-state kinetic analysis. The fundamental structural and biochemical information obtained from these studies will enhance our knowledge of FGF signaling and will allow us to understand the effects of pathogenic FGF and FGFR mutations. In broader terms, these studies will facilitate the rational design of novel antagonists of FGF signaling for use in treatment of a variety of pathological conditions and will also enhance our understanding of signaling of the entire receptor tyrosine kinase superfamily

Abstract: Cellular signaling by the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of ligands (FGF1-10 and FGF16-23) plays essential roles in mammalian development and metabolism. FGFs execute their diverse activities by binding, dimerizing and activating FGF receptor tyrosine kinases (FGFRs) in a heparan sulfate (HS)-dependent fashion. Mammalian FGFR genes (FGFR1-4) encode single pass transmembrane receptors composed of an extracellular ligand binding region, and a cytoplasmic region that harbors the conserved tyrosine kinase domain. The endocrine acting FGFs also require the presence of Klotho proteins in their target tissues. Upon activation the cytoplasmic domain of FGFR associates with intracellular signaling molecules in either phosphorylation dependent or independent fashion to initiate distinct intracellular pathways. Reflective of the pleiotropic roles of FGF signaling in human biology, deregulated FGF signaling leads to a wide array of human diseases, including skeletal, olfactory/reproductive syndromes, hearing loss, phosphate wasting disorders, and cancer. The recent discovery of the endocrine-acting FGF19 subfamily´s critical roles in maintaining bile acid, glucose, lipid, and phosphate homeostasis has sparked renewed interest in the therapeutic potential of FGFs. Consequently, there is a major impetus to comprehend the molecular mechanisms of FGF signaling as the results of such studies should facilitate the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of a variety of human diseases. The specific aims are I. Explore the role of klotho co-receptors in the regulation of FGF-FGFR binding specificity. II. Dissect the requirement for A-loop tyrosine phosphorylation in the hyperactivation of FGFR tyrosine kinase by pathogenic gain-of-function mutations. III. Determine the order by which intracellular signaling molecules are recruited to the cytoplasmic region of FGFR, and investigate the existence of cooperativity between recruitment events. Recombinant protein expression, Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) spectroscopy, steady-state kinetics analysis, and mass spectrometry will be used to accomplish the Specific Aims of this proposal. These studies should lead to the first demonstration that the ligand binding specificity of an RTK can be altered by tissue specific cell surface co-receptors thus providing a new layer of regulatory mechanism in maintaining signaling specificity of RTKs. Moreover, our studies should enhance our understanding of how the extracellularly occurring ligand-receptor binding and dimerization events can be appropriately decoded into selective activation of intracellular signaling pathways. Finally, our data should show how pathogenic mutations activate FGFRs and aid in discovery of new therapeutics to interfere with unregulated activation of FGFR and possibly other RTKs. Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) play essential roles in human development and metabolism. The overall aim of this application is to understand how the activity of FGFRs is regulated and to unveil the mechanisms by which naturally occurring pathogenic mutations corrupt receptor function to give rise to various human pathologies including skeletal, olfactory/reproductive syndromes, and cancer. Thus the results of our studies should facilitate the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of a variety of human diseases

Grant 1R13HD063210-01A1 from Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute Of Child Health & Human Development

Abstract: This application requests funding to partially support the 2010 Gordon Research Conference on Fibroblast Growth Factors in Development and Disease, to be held on March 14 - 19, 2010, at the Four Points by Sheraton in Ventura, California. The overarching goal of this conference is to enhance our understanding of the ubiquitous roles of FGF signaling in human biology. Among the topics to be covered in this meeting are 1) the mechanisms by which FGF signaling governs organogenesis and tissue patterning during embryonic development; 2) the role of FGF signaling in adult tissue homeostasis, repair, regeneration, and angiogenesis; 3) the emerging roles of the endocrine FGFs in the regulation of glucose/lipid/bile acid metabolism, and energy homeostasis, as well as in phosphate/vitamin D homeostasis; 4) crosstalk between FGF signaling and other morphogenetic pathways, including Wnt, Hedgehog, and BMP signaling pathways; 5) aberrant FGF signaling in developmental/hereditary diseases, including skeletal syndromes, hearing loss, and hypogonadism; and 6) roles of FGF signaling in various cancers. The five-day conference will be convened in a relatively isolated setting, with 36 invited speakers as well as approximately 15 speakers selected from s that represent current areas of FGF research, and a total of approximately 135 participants. At least one third of the speakers will be women, and female scientists as well as individuals from minority groups will be particularly encouraged to participate. The program will kick off with three featured talks The first presentation will give a historical update on the discovery of FGFs, the second will summarize the current knowledge on the FGF family, and the third talk will introduce the recently discovered endocrine FGFs. Eight sessions will follow that broadly address structural and biochemical aspects of FGF signaling, as well as the roles of FGFs in organogenesis and tissue patterning, in development and disease of the nervous and sensory systems, in glucose/lipid metabolism and phosphate/vitamin D homeostasis, in the pathogenesis of hereditary/developmental diseases, in tissue repair and regeneration (including stem cell biology), and in tumorigenesis. Reflecting the pleiotropic functions of FGF signaling in human biology, FGF researchers encompass a wide range of scientific disciplines, including structural biologists, biochemists, cell biologists, endocrinologists, developmental biologists, geneticists, pharmacologists, and clinicians. Consequently, the majority of FGF investigators do not attend other common meetings. Thus, the significance of this application is that this Gordon Research Conference on FGFs in Development and Disease will provide an interdisciplinary forum for new as well as established basic researchers, clinicians, and scientists from industry to discuss the latest results, exchange ideas, foster interdisciplinary collaborations, and shape future avenues of research. The health relatedness of this application is to provide a forum to define and tackle questions pertaining to the human development, metabolism, tissue repair, and human diseases of the nervous and sensory systems, metabolic disorders, skeletal and reproductive diseases, as well as cancer. Moreover, an emphasis will be placed on how to apply the latest discoveries in the field to develop new therapies for a variety of human diseases
