摘要

The discoidin domain receptors (DDRs) are collagen-binding receptor tyrosine kinases that have been implicated in a number of fundamental biological processes ranging from growth and development to immunoregulation. In this review, we examine how recent proteomic technologies have enriched our understanding of DDR signaling mechanisms. We provide an overview on the use of large-scale proteomic profiling and chemical proteomics to reveal novel insights into DDR therapeutics, signaling networks, and receptor crosstalk. A perspective of how proteomics may be harnessed to answer outstanding fundamental questions including the dynamic regulation of receptor activation kinetics is presented. Collectively, these studies present an emerging molecular portrait of these unique receptors and their functional role in health and disease.
