Targeting mycobacterium protein tyrosine phosphatase B for antituberculosis agents.
Protein tyrosine phosphatases are often exploited and subverted by pathogenic bacteria to cause human diseases. The tyrosine phosphatase mPTPB from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an essential virulence factor that is secreted by the bacterium into the cytoplasm of macrophages, where it mediates mycobacterial survival in the host. Consequently, there is considerable interest in understanding the ...
متن کاملDiscovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase B (PtpB) Inhibitors from Natural Products
Protein tyrosine phosphatase B (PtpB) is one of the virulence factors secreted into the host cell by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. PtpB attenuates host immune defenses by interfering with signal transduction pathways in macrophages and, therefore, it is considered a promising target for the development of novel anti-tuberculosis drugs. Here we report the discovery of natural compound inhibitors o...
متن کاملProtein-tyrosine phosphatase expression in pre-B cell NALM-6.
Protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-related complementary DNAs from NALM-6 (pre-B cell line) were amplified by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction using primers corresponding to the conserved catalytic domains of PTPs. Thirty-three polymerase chain reaction products, identified as PTP related complementary DNAs, were classified to RPTP-alpha, PTP1B, and 4 novel PTPs, which were desig...
متن کاملProtein tyrosine phosphatase PtpA is not required for Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth in mice.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) alters the host response to infection by secreting protein factors. Mtb produces two secreted protein tyrosine phosphatases, PtpA and PtpB, which are thought to interfere with host signaling. Deletion of ptpA or ptpB attenuates bacterial growth in activated macrophages. To address the in vivo function of PtpA, we generated a genetic deletion mutant, DeltaptpA. T...
متن کاملTargeting protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 for the treatment of PTPN11-associated malignancies.
Activating mutations in PTPN11 (encoding SHP2), a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) that plays an overall positive role in growth factor and cytokine signaling, are directly associated with the pathogenesis of Noonan syndrome and childhood leukemias. Identification of SHP2-selective inhibitors could lead to the development of new drugs that ultimately serve as treatments for PTPN11-associated ...
