Scientific Background: Ros (Ros1) is a protein-tyrosine kinase of the TK group and Sev family. It is an orphaned receptor kinase. It has been suggested to activate several downstream signalling pathways in cell differentiation, proliferation, growth and survival including the PI3 kinase-mTOR signalling pathway. Ros1 is highly expressed in several human cancers. A K1980M mutation can lead to impaired phosphotransferase activity, while the mutations Y2274F or Y2334F can lead to loss of phosphorylation and impaired complex formation with PTPN11. It appears to be an oncoprotein (OP). Cancer-related mutations in human tumours point to a gain of function of the protein kinase. The active form of the protein kinase normally acts to promote tumour cell proliferation. Ros is linked to Glioblastoma Multiforme, in which this protein-tyrosine kinase can be constitutively active. This activity can arise either from ROS fusion with the FIG protein or a deletion (q21q21) leading to GOPC-Ros1. Non-small cell lung carcinoma can arise from a SLC34A2-Ros1 fusion expressing the chimeric CD74-Ros1 protein. In non-small cell lung cancer a gain of function has been observed with Mlk1 (MAP3K9), activating ERK downstream. Interestingly, its pattern of diverse mutations in human tumours is actually more characteristic of a tumour suppressor protein.
