RYK is an atypical receptor tyrosine kinase-like receptor that is required for craniofacial and skeletal development, axon guidance and neuronal differentiation. RYK has an extracellular WNT-binding WIF domain, a putative tetrabasic cleavage site, an intracellular PDZ domain and a cytosolic RTK-like catalytic site that is rendered inactive by a number of substitutions at conserved positions (reviewed in Fradkin et al, 2010; Keeble et al, 2006a). The WIF domain of RYK has been shown to interact with WNT1, 3, 3A and 5A (Keeble et al, 2006b; Liu et al, 2005; Macheda et al, 2012; Schmitt et al, 2006). RYK-deficient mice show disruptions to cochlear hair cell orientation suggesting a role for RYK in the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway. Consistent with this, RYK binds to the PCP protein VANGL2 as assessed by co-immunoprecipitation from HEK293 cells. Formation of a RYK:VANGL2 complex appears to stabilize VANGL2 protein levels through an unknown mechanism (Macheda et al, 2012; Andre et al, 2012). RYK:VANGL may activate RHO A in response to WNT signaling (Macheda et al, 2012).
