Phosphorylation of Serine 779 in Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1 and 2 by Protein Kinase Cϵ Regulates Ras/Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Signaling and Neuronal Differentiation

The FGF receptors (FGFRs) control a multitude of cellular processes both during development and in the adult through the initiation of signaling cascades that regulate proliferation, survival, and differentiation. Although FGFR tyrosine phosphorylation and the recruitment of Src homology 2 domain proteins have been widely described, we have previously shown that FGFR is also phosphorylated on Ser(779) in response to ligand and binds the 14-3-3...
