Background Retinoic acid(RA), an embryonic morphogen, regulates cell differentiation. Endocytosis regulates receptor signaling that governs such RA-directed cellular processes. Vacuolin-1 is a small molecule that disrupts endocytosis, motivating interest

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 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 ...

Sepsis and septic shock are associated with high mortality and are considered one of the major public health concerns. The onset of sepsis is known as a hyper-inflammatory state that contributes to organ failure and mortality.

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 ...

Stable association of pp60src and pp59fyn with the focal adhesion-associated protein tyrosine kinase, pp125FAK [PDF]
Changes in cellular growth and dramatic alterations in cell morphology and adhesion are common features of cells transformed by oncogenic protein tyrosine kinases, such as pp60src and other members of the Src family. In this report, we present evidence for the stable association of two Src family kinases (pp60src and pp59fyn) with tyrosine ...

Protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)‑α regulates the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), which is important in cellular signal transduction and integration of proteins. It has been demonstrated that a FAK‑Del33 mutation (deletion of exon 33; KF437463) in breast cancer tissues regulates cell migration through FAK/Src signaling activation ...

Molecular characterization of c-Abl/c-Src kinase inhibitors targeted against murine tumour progenitor cells that express stem cell markers. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The non-receptor tyrosine kinases c-Abl and c-Src are overexpressed in various solid human tumours. Inhibition of their hyperactivity represents a molecular rationale in the combat of cancerous diseases.

Phosphorylated α-Actinin and Protein-tyrosine Phosphatase 1B Coregulate the Disassembly of the Focal Adhesion Kinase·Src Complex and Promote Cell Migration [PDF]
The focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a key regulator of cell migration. Phosphorylation at Tyr-397 activates FAK and creates a binding site for Src family kinases. FAK phosphorylates the cytoskeletal protein alpha-actinin at Tyr-12. Here we report that protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP 1B) is an alpha-actinin phosphatase.
