Two Mechanisms Down-Regulate Signaling from RTKs

1. Phosphotyrosine phosphatases

2. Receptor-mediated endocytosis followed by degradation in lysosomes

Unbound receptors are internalized at a relatively slow rate, on average once every 30 minutes, and are recycled rapidly to the plasma membrane so there is little reduction in the total number of surface receptors.

Following binding of an EGF ligand, the rate of endocytosis of HER1 is increased about tenfold, and only a fraction of the internalized receptors return to the plasma membrane; the rest are degraded in lysosomes.

c-Cbl contains: 

a domain that binds directly to phosphorylated EGF receptors

a RING finger domain, which recruits ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes and mediates transfer of ubiquitin to the receptor
