Abstract:
Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) play critical roles in craniofacial and skeletal development via multiple signaling pathways including MAPK, PI3K/AKT, and PLC-?. FGFR-mediated signaling is modulated by several regulators. Proteins with leucine-rich repeat (LRR) and/or immunoglobulin (IG) superfamily domains have been suggested to interact with FGFRs. In addition, fibronectin leucine-rich repeat transmembrane protein 3 (FLRT3) has been shown to modulate the FGFR-mediated signaling via the fibronectin type III (FNIII) domain. Therefore proteins with LRR, IG, and FNIII are candidate regulators of the FGFRs. Here we identify leucine-rich repeat, immunoglobulin-like and transmembrane domain 3 (LRIT3) as a regulator of the FGFRs.

Rab Proteins
Rab proteins switch between a cytosolic, GDP-bound inactive state and a membrane-anchored, GTP-bound active state. By themselves, Rabs show slow rates of GDP/GTP exchange and GTP hydrolysis. Thus, Rab proteins are considered...
