Background: EphA3

EphA3, also known as Cek4, Mek4, Hek, Tyro4, and Hek4, is a 135 kDa glycosylated member of the transmembrane Eph receptor tyrosine kinase family. The A and B classes of Eph proteins are distinguished by Ephrin ligand binding preference but have a common structural organization. EphA3 preferentially binds to Ephrin-A5. Eph-Ephrin interactions are widely involved in the regulation of cell migration, tissue morphogenesis, and cancer progression (1, 2). The 520 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) of mouse EphA3 contains an N-terminal Ephrin binding region, a cysteine-rich region, and two fibronectin type II domains. The 419 aa cytoplasmic domain contains the tyrosine kinase domain and a sterile alpha motif (SAM) (3, 4). Within the ECD, mouse EphA3 shares 96% and 98% aa sequence identity with human and rat EphA3, respectively. Alternate splicing generates a secreted isoform that consists of nearly the entire ECD. EphA3 is expressed in the developing forebrain, retinal axons, some spinal cord motor neurons, and the heart where it plays an important role in axonal repulsion and organ morphogenesis (5 ‑ 8). It is upregulated on some hematopoietic and solid tumor cells and on astrocytes surrounding injured nervous tissue (5, 9 - 11). EphA3 ligation inhibits cellular adhesion to fibronectin as well as cellular migration (9, 10). Transmembrane EphA3 associates in cis with ADAM10 which then promotes the cleavage in trans of Ephrin-A5 (12). It also associates in cis with Ephrin-A5 on retinal axons, thereby preventing the activation of EphA3 by Ephrin-A (13). Multiple tyrosine residues within the cytoplasmic region of EphA3 become phosphorylated during ligand-induced signaling (14, 15).
