Tyrosine 402 phosphorylation of Pyk2 is involved in ionomycin-induced neurotransmitter release. [PDF]
Protein tyrosine kinases, which are highly expressed in the central nervous system, are implicated in many neural processes. However, the relationship between protein tyrosine kinases and neurotransmitter release remains unknown.

Receptor Protein Tyrosine Kinases and Phosphatases
It is clear that the number of receptor PTKs and PTPs encoded by a typical vertebrate genome is rather large. Although the signal pathways activated by the receptor PTKs may in many cases be common, specificity is provided by the ligand-binding domain and the availability of ligand.

In metazoans, receptor kinases control many essential processes related to growth and development and response to the environment. The receptor kinases in plants and animals are structurally similar but evolutionarily distinct and thus while most animal ...

Receptor-specific regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase activation by the protein tyrosine phosphatase Shp2 [PDF]
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) play distinct roles in multiple biological systems. Many RTKs transmit similar signals, raising questions about how specificity is achieved.

Grb2 binding induces phosphorylation-independent activation of Shp2
Lin et al. investigate the interactions between adaptor protein, Grb2, and the ubiquitously expressed protein tyrosine phosphatase, Shp2. They find that monomeric Grb2 can activate Shp2 and its downstream signalling in the absence of up-regulation of ...

Cbl-associated protein is tyrosine phosphorylated by c-Abl and c-Src kinases [PDF]
Background: The c-Cbl-associated protein (CAP), also known as ponsin, localizes to focal adhesions and stress fibers and is involved in signaling events.

ErbB2 signaling in breast cancer : the role of ErbB, Akt and ShcA phosphorylation [PDF]
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and is estimated to account for more than 200,000 new cancer cases in the United States in the year 2002. It now represents the second leading cause of death (40,000) from cancer in women.

The protein tyrosine kinases EpsB and PtkA differentially affect biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
The Gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis is able to choose between motile and sessile lifestyles. The sessile way of life, also referred to as biofilm, depends on the formation of an extracellular polysaccharide matrix and some extracellular ...
