| Post Translational Modifications | The identity of the C-linked hexose on the WXXW motif has not been determined. It is probably mannose. On EPO stimulation, phosphorylated on C-terminal tyrosine residues by JAK2. The phosphotyrosine motifs are also recruitment sites for several SH2-containing proteins and adapter proteins which mediate cell proliferation. Phosphorylation on Tyr-453 is required for PTPN6 interaction, Tyr-425 for PTPN11. Tyr-425 is also required for SOCS3 binding, but Tyr-453/Tyr-455 motif is the preferred binding site. Ubiquitinated by the ECS(SOCS2) complex following ligand-binding and phosphorylation by JAK2, leading to its degradation by the proteasome. Regulation by the ECS(SOCS2) complex acts as a negative feedback loop of erythropoietin-mediated signaling pathway. Ubiquitination at Lys-280 mediates receptor internalization, whereas ubiquitination at Lys-452 promotes trafficking of activated receptors to the lysosomes for degradation. Ubiquitinated by NOSIP.appears to be either multi-monoubiquitinated or polyubiquitinated. Ubiquitination mediates proliferation and survival of EPO-dependent cells. |
| Function | Receptor for erythropoietin, which mediates erythropoietin-induced erythroblast proliferation and differentiation. Upon EPO stimulation, EPOR dimerizes triggering the JAK2/STAT5 signaling cascade. In some cell types, can also activate STAT1 and STAT3. May also activate the LYN tyrosine kinase. |
