Diverse Levels of Sequence Selectivity and Catalytic Efficiency of Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatases [PDF]
The sequence selectivity of 14 classical protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) (PTPRA, PTPRB, PTPRC, PTPRD, PTPRO, PTP1B, SHP-1, SHP-2, HePTP, PTP-PEST, TCPTP, PTPH1, PTPD1, and PTPD2) was systematically profiled by screening their catalytic domains ...

Diffusion‐based size determination of solute particles: a method adapted for postsynaptic proteins
We present a diffusion‐based approach for measuring the size of macromolecules and their complexes, and demonstrate its use on postsynaptic proteins. The method requires fluorescein‐labelled protein samples, a microfluidic device that maintains laminar flow for said samples, a microscope recording the emitted fluorescent signals, and an analytic ...

Nephrin Promotes Cell-Cell Adhesion through Homophilic Interactions [PDF]
Nephrin is a type-1 transmembrane protein and a key component of the podocyte slit diaphragm, the ultimate glomerular plasma filter. Genetic and acquired diseases affecting expression or function of nephrin lead to severe proteinuria and distortion or absence of the slit diaphragm.

Renal Implications of Psoriasis: Urinary Podocyte Markers and Disease Progression
Introduction: Psoriasis may lead to glomerular inflammatory damage and disruption of the podocyte barrier, allowing podocyte degradation products to leak into the urine.

Abstract Preservation of the insulin‐sensitive glomerular podocyte is imperative for normal kidney function. The protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), T‐cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP), and Src homology phosphatase 2 (SHP2) are established regulators of insulin signaling in vivo and implicated in renal

Nephrin Deficiency Activates NF-κB and Promotes Glomerular Injury [PDF]
Increasing evidence implicates activation of NF-kappaB in a variety of glomerular diseases, but the mechanisms involved are unknown. Here, upregulation of NF-kappaB in the podocytes of transgenic mice resulted in glomerulosclerosis and proteinuria.

Mutational analysis of the PLCE1 gene in steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome [PDF]
International audienceBackground: Mutations in the PLCE1 gene encoding phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLCε1) have been recently described in patients with early-onset nephrotic syndrome (NS) and diffuse mesangial sclerosis (DMS).

A Rare NPHS2 Mutation (E130K) in Hereditary Steroid‐Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome: A Case Report
Hereditary steroid‐resistant nephrotic syndrome (HSRNS) due to mutations in the NPHS2 gene (encoding podocin) is a rare genetic condition that typically presents in childhood. We report a case of a 2‐year‐and‐8‐month‐old male, the seventh child of consanguineous parents, who presented with recurrent fever, febrile tonic‐clonic seizures, and periorbital

Expression of human nephrin mRNA in diabetic nephropathy [PDF]
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is associated with functional changes in the filtration barrier, and microalbuminuria is a strong predictor of the development of overt DN. Nephrin is a novel podocyte-specific protein which localizes at the slit diaphragm.

Genetic testing for nephrotic syndrome and FSGS in the era of next-generation sequencing [PDF]
The haploid human genome is composed of three billion base pairs, about one percent of which consists of exonic regions, the coding sequence for functional proteins, also now known as the “exome”.
