Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases in the Human Genome
Tyrosine phosphorylation is catalyzed by protein tyrosine kinases, which are represented by 90 genes in the human genome. Here, we present the set of 107 genes in the human genome that encode members of the four protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) families. The four families of PTPases, their substrates, structure, function, regulation, and the role of these enzymes in human disease will be disc...
متن کاملRegulation of sperm motility: emerging evidence for a major role for protein phosphatases.
Lesions in the normal expression of sperm motility are associated with certain types of male infertility. Therefore, an understanding of the signal transduction pathways regulating sperm motility will be an important part of our understanding of the mechanisms underlying these types of male infertility. In this connection, the regulation of sperm fiagellar motility by second messengers is a rap...
متن کاملProtein Phosphatases Targeted Library
Preamble Phosphatases constitute a wide class of enzymes which remove a phosphate group from the target substrate by hydrolysing phosphoric acid monoesters into a phosphate ion and a molecule with a free hydroxyl group. This action is directly opposite to that of phosphorylases and kinases. While kinases phosphorylate cellular substrates by using energetic molecules like ATP, phosphatases, in t...
متن کاملMetaplastic protein phosphatases.
Activity-dependent synaptic plasticity is widely considered to be one of the cellular mechanisms that underlie learning and memory. Long-term potentiation (LTP) is the most intensely studied form of synaptic plasticity, in part because it can be induced at glutamatergic synapses in the mammalian brain, including the hippocampus, a structure known for its involvement in memory function. LTP can ...
متن کاملPhosphotyrosyl protein phosphatases.
Enzyme-catalysed reversible protein phosphorylation is an important cellular regulatory mechanism (Nimmo & Cohen, 1977; Krebs & Beavo, 1979). Regulatory protein phosphorylation occurs most frequently on seryl and threonyl residues (Taborsky, 1974), and less frequently, on tyrosyl residues (Hunter, 1982). Protein phosphotyrosine [Tyr(P)] normally accounts for only 0.01-0.050o of the total protei...
