Responses to extracellular stimuli are often transduced from cell-surface receptors to protein
tyrosine kinases which, when activated, initiate the formation of protein complexes that
transmit signals throughout the cell. A prominent component of these complexes is the
product of the proto-oncogene c-Cbl, which specifically targets activated protein tyrosine
kinases and regulates their signalling. How, then, does this multidomain protein shape the
responses generated by these signalling complexes?
