V-crk avian sarcoma virus ct10 oncogene homolog-like; crkl
Oncogene crkl

CLONING

CRK (164762) was originally identified as an oncogene transduced by the avian sarcoma virus CT10. Ten Hoeve et al. (1993) identified and characterized a gene, which they called CRKL for CRK-like, from a human K562 lambda gt10 cDNA library. CRKL encodes a 303-amino acid polypeptide with a predicted molecular mass of 36 kD. While CRKL is not the human homolog of CRK, it is similar to protein-tyrosine kinases with SH2 and SH3 (src homology) domains.

GENE FUNCTION

Senechal et al. (1996) showed that CRKL becomes phosphorylated when overexpressed, activates Ras-dependent and JNK (601158) pathways, and transforms fibroblasts. The authors also found CRKL to be a substrate for the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase (ABL; 189980), leading them to conclude that CRKL is a tyrosine kinase and an oncogene. Sasahara et al. (2002) showed that the adaptor protein CRKL binds directly to WIP (602357) and that, following T-cell receptor ligation, a CRKL-WIP-WASP (300392) complex is recruited by ZAP70 (176947) to lipid rafts and immunologic synapses. Since Fgf8 (600483) deletion in mice, like Crkl deletion, results in many of the phenotypic features of DiGeorge syndrome (DGS; 188400)/velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS; 192430), Moon et al. (2006) investigated whether Crkl mediates Fgf8 signaling. In addition to finding interactions between Crkl and Fgf8 during the development of structures affected in DGS/VCFS, Moon et al. (2006) found that Fgf8 induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Fgfr1 (136350) and Fgfr2 (176943) and their binding to Crkl. Crkl was required for normal cellular responses to Fgf8, including survival and migration, Erk (see MAPK3; 601795) activation, and target gene expression. Hallock et al. (2010) found that Crk and Crkl were recruited to mouse skeletal muscle synapses and played redundant roles in synaptic differentiation. Crk and Crkl bound the same tyrosine-phosphorylated sequences in Dok7 (610285), a protein that functions downstream of agrin (AGRN; 103320) and muscle-specific receptor kinase (MUSK; 601296) in synapse formation.

MAPPING

By fluorescence in situ hybridization, ten Hoeve et al. (1993) localized the CRKL gene to chromosome 22q11, centromeric of the chronic myelogenous leukemia breakpoint region.

ANIMAL MODEL

Since the CRKL gene maps within the common deletion region for DGS/VCFS, Guris et al. (2001) created mice homozygous for a targeted null mutation at the Crkl locus (symbolized Crkol in mice) and found that they exhibited defects in multiple cranial and cardiac neural crest derivatives including the cranial ganglia, aortic arch arteries, cardiac outflow tract, thymus, parathyroid glands, and craniofacial structures. They showed that the migration and early expansion of neural crest cells was unaffected in Crkol -/- embryos. These results therefore indicated an essential stage- and tissue-specific role for Crkol in the function, differentiation, and/or survival of neural crest cells during development. The similarity between the Crkol -/- phenotype and the clinical manifestations of DGS/VCFS implicated defects in CRKL-mediated signaling pathways as part of the molecular mechanism underlying this syndrome. Guris et al. (2006) found that compound heterozygosity for null alleles of the mouse Crkl and Tbx1 (602054) genes recapitulated thymic, parathyroid, and cardiovascular defects characteristic of DGS at a penetrance far greater than that generated by heterozygosity of Crkl or Tbx1 alon ...
