Protein phosphatase 5 modulates SMAD3 function in the transforming growth factor-beta pathway [PDF]
Protein phosphatases play a key role in balancing the cellular responses to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF beta) signals. Several protein phosphatases have been attributed roles in the regulation of the TGF beta pathway. Among these.

Effects of Newly Synthesized DCP-LA-Phospholipids on Protein Kinase C and Protein Phosphatases
Background/Aims: The linoleic acid derivative DCP-LA selectively activates PKCε and inhibits protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). In the present study, we have newly synthesized phosphatidyl-ethanolamine, -serine, -choline, and -inositol containing DCP-LA at the

PTEN: A master regulator of neuronal structure, function, and plasticity. [PDF]
PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog on chromosome ten) is a dual protein/lipid phosphatase that dephosphorylates PIP3, thereby inhibiting the AKT/mTOR pathway. This inhibition ultimately decreases protein translation, cell proliferation and cell growth.

A new monoclonal antibody detects downregulation of protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type γ in chronic myeloid leukemia patients [PDF]
Background: Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor gamma (PTPRG) is a ubiquitously expressed member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase family known to act as a tumor suppressor gene in many different neoplasms with mechanisms of inactivation including ...

Protein phosphatase 5 regulates titin phosphorylation and function at a sarcomere-associated mechanosensor complex in cardiomyocytes. [PDF]
Serine/threonine protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) is ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotic cells; however, its function in cardiomyocytes is unknown. Under basal conditions, PP5 is autoinhibited, but enzymatic activity rises upon binding of specific factors ...

PPM1H phosphatase counteracts LRRK2 signaling by selectively dephosphorylating Rab proteins
Mutations that activate LRRK2 protein kinase cause Parkinson’s disease. LRRK2 phosphorylates a subset of Rab GTPases within their Switch-II motif controlling interaction with effectors.

A dynamic charge-charge interaction modulates PP2A:B56 substrate recruitment
The recruitment of substrates by the ser/thr protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is poorly understood, limiting our understanding of PP2A-regulated signaling. Recently, the first PP2A:B56 consensus binding motif, LxxIxE, was identified. However, most validated
