Discoidin Domain Receptors (DDR1 and DDR2) are widely expressed receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) that regulate cell differentiation, proliferation and migration and remodeling of the extracellular matrix [1]. Collagen(s) are the only known ligand for DDRs [2]. Both the collagen binding domains of the receptors (Figure 1) as well as their binding site on the collagen triple helix have been elucidated in recent years [3]. However, the role of receptor oligomerization in DDR-collagen interaction is not completely understood. This is especially important as receptor oligomerization can modulate receptorligand binding as well as receptor phosphorylation and activation and downstream-signaling events.
