Science. 294:2001;2179-2181 This work demonstrates that ErbB-4 is proteolytically processed by the same mechanisms that act on Notch and APP (Alzheimer's precursor protein) and that result in nuclear localization of the ErbB-4 cytoplasmic domain. The processing of ErbB-4 can be stimulated by heregulin or TPA. Furthermore, the paper also shows that the heregulin-dependent induction of cell death is abrogated by γ-secretase inhibition. These two facts establish a novel signaling and trafficking pathway for RTKs.

Cell Biol. 155:2001;755-762 In this paper, the authors identify CD44, a cell-surface adhesion molecule, as a γ-secretase substrate. Importantly, they also show that the released cytoplasmic domain enters the nucleus and has transcriptional activity.

Chem. 277:2002;18736-18743 It is shown here that γ-secretase cleaves the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein. This protein functions as a scavenger receptor, which includes the capacity to recognize several growth factors.

Cell Biol. 3:2001;802-808 The authors confirm previous reports of ErbB-1 in the nucleus and show that localization is ligand-dependent and that the growth-factor-receptor complex is translocated from the plasma membrane to the nucleoplasm. Also, several different assays are employed to provide evidence that ErbB-1 acts as a transcription factor.

Cell Biol. 157:2002;929-939 Evidence is presented to demonstrate that ErbB-3 is constitutively present in the nucleus. Addition of heregulin influences the partitioning of ErbB-3 between cytoplasm and nuclei. Also, when epithelial polarization is induced, this directs ErbB-3 to a localization in nucleoli.

[1996] [32]) had shown that fibroblast growth factor (FGF) induces nuclear localization of FGF receptor I (FGFR-I). This paper implicates a mechanism that involves association of importin β with the receptor. The authors also report that nuclear localization of FGFR-I is necessary for the induction of certain mRNAs.

EMBO J. 21:2002;3255-3263 In this paper, the authors describe a possible carrier function for internalized ErbB-1. STAT-1 is tyrosine-phosphorylation by ErbB-1 and then translocates to the nucleus to act as a transcription factor. The authors suggest the endosomal ErbB-1 carries STAT-1 and may be involved in its nuclear translocation.
