Podocyte Protein, Nephrin, Is a Substrate of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B
Glomerular podocytes are critical for the barrier function of the glomerulus in the kidney and their dysfunction causes protein leakage into the urine (proteinuria). Nephrin is a key podocyte protein, which regulates the actin cytoskeleton via tyrosine phosphorylation of its cytoplasmic domain. Here we report that two protein tyrosine phosphatases, PTP1B and PTP-PEST negatively regulate nephrin...
متن کاملProtein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B Inhibitors: Catechols
As most intracellular signaling takes place via cascades of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of tyrosines, protein tyrosine phosphatases have emerged as new and promising targets. Among them, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) negatively regulates insulin signaling by dephosphorylation of key tyrosine residues within the regulatory domain of the β-subunit of the insulin receptor, ther...
متن کاملThe podocyte protein nephrin is required for cardiac vessel formation.
Nephrin (NPHS1) has been described as an important structural protein of kidney podocytes. Mutations in this gene lead to the Finnish-type congenital nephrotic syndrome. More recently, a role of nephrin as a signalling molecule in kidney podocytes has been identified. Here, we show that nephrin not only has a function in kidney podocytes, but is also required for cardiovascular development. Nep...
متن کاملProtein tyrosine phosphatase function: the substrate perspective.
It is now well established that the members of the PTP (protein tyrosine phosphatase) superfamily play critical roles in fundamental biological processes. Although there has been much progress in defining the function of PTPs, the task of identifying substrates for these enzymes still presents a challenge. Many PTPs have yet to have their physiological substrates identified. The focus of this r...
متن کاملThe Mechanism of Allosteric Inhibition of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B
As the prototypical member of the PTP family, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an attractive target for therapeutic interventions in type 2 diabetes. The extremely conserved catalytic site of PTP1B renders the design of selective PTP1B inhibitors intractable. Although discovered allosteric inhibitors containing a benzofuran sulfonamide scaffold offer fascinating opportunities to overc...
