C-terminal phosphorylation of HER family proteins is caused by dimerization followed by trans-autophosphorylation, in which one receptor subunit of the dimer phosphorylates the other. Among the HER family proteins, EGFR,
[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC8881279 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 9
Evidence Type(s): Functional, Oncogenic
Justification: Functional: The passage discusses how the variants E401G and S310F lead to increased phosphorylation levels of HER2 and EGFR, indicating that these variants alter molecular function related to protein activity. Oncogenic: The context of the passage suggests that the variants E401G and S310F contribute to tumor development or progression by enhancing the phosphorylation of key HER family proteins involved in oncogenesis.
