Signaling pathways for transduction of the initial message of the glycocode into cellular responses [PDF]
The sugar units of glycan structures store information and establish an alphabet of life. The language of the oligosaccharide coding units is deciphered by receptors such as lectins and the decoded message can be transduced by multiple signaling pathways.

Role of Protein-tyrosine Phosphatase SHP2 in Focal Adhesion Kinase Down-regulation during Neutrophil Cathepsin G-induced Cardiomyocytes Anoikis [PDF]
Inflammatory cells and their proteases contribute to tissue reparation at site of inflammation. Although beneficial at early stages, excessive inflammatory reaction leads to cell death and tissue damage. Cathepsin G (Cat.G), a neutrophil-derived serine protease, has been shown to induce neonatal rat cardiomyocyte detachment and apoptosis by anoikis ...

Protein tyrosine phosphorylation (PY) is a hallmark of sperm capacitation. In stallion sperm, calcium inhibits PY at pH 7.8). These results show for the first time a role for calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinases in PRKA-dependent sperm PY; a non-PRKA-dependent pathway regulating sperm PY; and the apparent involvement of the FAK family of protein ...

Roads to Stat3 Paved with Cadherins
The engagement of cadherins, cell-to-cell adhesion proteins, triggers a dramatic increase in the levels and activity of the Rac/Cdc42 GTPases, through the inhibition of proteasomal degradation.

Protein tyrosine kinase 2 beta (PTK2B), but not focal adhesion kinase (FAK), is expressed in a sexually dimorphic pattern in developing mouse gonads [PDF]
AbstractSexual reproduction is essential for the propagation and the maintenance of fitness of our species, and is dependent on the correct development of the bipotential genital ridges into testes and ovaries. Although several transcription factors, secreted signaling molecules, and their receptors have been found to be important for testis ...
