An Active C-Terminally Truncated Form of Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase Phosphatase-N (CaMKP-N/PPM1E)
Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase phosphatase (CaMKP/PPM1F) and its nuclear homolog CaMKP-N (PPM1E) are Ser/Thr protein phosphatases that belong to the PPM family. CaMKP-N is expressed in the brain and undergoes proteolytic processing to yield a C-terminally truncated form. The physiological significance of this processing, however, is not fully understood. Using a wheat-embryo cell-fr...
متن کاملAn N-terminally truncated Smad2 protein can partially compensate for loss of full-length Smad2.
TGFbeta (transforming growth factor beta) superfamily signalling is critical both for early embryonic development and later for tissue homoeostasis in adult organisms. The use of gene-disruption techniques in mice has been essential to understanding the functional roles of the components of the pathways downstream of TGFbeta superfamily ligands, in particular, the receptors and the Smads that t...
متن کاملGender-Specific Potential Inhibitory Role of Ca2+/Calmodulin Dependent Protein Kinase Phosphatase (CaMKP) in Pressure-Overloaded Mouse Heart
BACKGROUND Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase phosphatase (CaMKP) has been proposed as a potent regulator of multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (i.e., CaMKII). The CaMKII-dependent activation of myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) disrupts interactions between MEF2-histone deacetylases (HDACs), thereby de-repressing downstream gene transcription. Whether CaMKP modulate...
متن کاملProtein Kinase C-Dependent Dephosphorylation of Tyrosine Hydroxylase Requires the B56δ Heterotrimeric Form of Protein Phosphatase 2A
Tyrosine hydroxylase, which plays a critical role in regulation of dopamine synthesis, is known to be controlled by phosphorylation at several critical sites. One of these sites, Ser40, is phosphorylated by a number of protein kinases, including protein kinase A. The major protein phosphatase that dephosphorylates Ser40 is protein phosphatase-2A (PP2A). A recent study has also linked protein ki...
متن کاملN‐terminally and C‐terminally truncated forms of glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide are high‐affinity competitive antagonists of the human GIP receptor
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) affects lipid, bone and glucose homeostasis. High-affinity ligands for the GIP receptor are needed to elucidate the physiological functions and pharmacological potential of GIP in vivo. GIP(1-30)NH2 is a naturally occurring truncation of GIP(1-42). Here, we have characterized eight N-terminal truncations of human GIP(1-30...
