Differential effects of ERK and p38 signaling in BMP-2 stimulated hypertrophy of cultured chick sternal chondrocytes [PDF]
Background During endochondral bone formation, the hypertrophy of chondrocytes is accompanied by selective expression of several genes including type X collagen and alkaline phosphatase.

Modulation of VEGF receptor 2 signaling by protein phosphatases [PDF]
Phosphorylation of serines, threonines, and tyrosines is a central event in signal transduction cascades in eukaryotic cells. The phosphorylation state of any particular protein reflects a balance of activity between kinases and phosphatases. Kinase biology has been exhaustively studied and is reasonably well understood, however, much less is known ...

Novel prokaryotic expression of thioredoxin-fused insulinoma associated protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (IA-2), its characterization and immunodiagnostic application [PDF]
Background The insulinoma associated protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (IA-2) is one of the immunodominant autoantigens involved in the autoimmune attack to the beta-cell in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

The Cell-Cycle Regulatory Protein p21CIP1/WAF1 Is Required for Cytolethal Distending Toxin (Cdt)-Induced Apoptosis. [PDF]
The Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans cytolethal distending toxin (Cdt) induces lymphocytes to undergo cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis; toxicity is dependent upon the active Cdt subunit, CdtB.

Targeting Oncogenic Src Homology 2 Domain-Containing Phosphatase 2 (SHP2) by Inhibiting Its Protein–Protein Interactions [PDF]
AbstractWe developed a new class of inhibitors of protein-protein interactions of the SHP2 phosphatase, which is pivotal in multiple signaling pathways and a central target in the therapy of cancer and rare diseases. Currently available SHP2 inhibitors target the catalytic site or an allosteric pocket but lack specificity or are ineffective on disease ...

Endogenous inhibitor proteins that connect Ser/Thr kinases and phosphatases in cell signaling. [PDF]
Protein phosphatase activity acts as a primary determinant of the extent and duration of phosphorylation of cellular proteins in response to physiological stimuli. Ser/Thr protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) belongs to the PPP superfamily, and is associated with

Activity of protein phosphatases against initiation factor-2 and elongation factor-2 [PDF]
The protein phosphatases active against phosphorylase a, elongation factor-2 (EF-2) and the alpha-subunit of initiation factor-2 (eIF-2) [eIF-2(alpha P)] were studied in extracts of rabbit reticulocytes. Swiss-mouse 3T3 fibroblasts and rat hepatocytes, by use of the specific phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid and inhibitor proteins-1 and -2.

Several rat liver HMG-CoA-reductase (HMG-CoA-Rd) phosphatase activities have been shown to be associated with the endoplasmic reticulum. These activities were not due to glycogen contamination, as judged not only from different patterns of solubilization

Hanks-Type Serine/Threonine Protein Kinases and Phosphatases in Bacteria: Roles in Signaling and Adaptation to Various Environments [PDF]
Reversible phosphorylation is a key mechanism that regulates many cellular processes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, signal transduction includes two-component signaling systems, which involve a membrane sensor histidine kinase and a ...
