چکیده

Among cytoplasmic protein-tyrosine kinases (PTKs) Tec now forms a novel subfamily with recently identified Tec-related PTKs (Btk and Itk/Tsk). Tec is known to be abundantly expressed in myeloid cells, and multiple forms of Tec protein can be generated via the mechanism of alternative splicing. In this report, we have investigated 5'-terminal diversity of the tec messages to demonstrate a predominant form of the Tec protein in mouse hematopoietic cell lines. Using anti-Tec serum, we could show that stimulation with interleukin-3 (IL-3) can induce tyrosine phosphorylation of Tec both in myeloid and pro-B-cell lines. IL-3 stimulation was also shown to induce kinase activity of Tec. Furthermore, we could demonstrate that Tec is constitutively associated with the Shc protein in vivo. Thus, we conclude that Tec is involved in the signaling pathway of IL-3.

Bmx tyrosine kinase regulates TLR4-induced IL-6 production in human macrophages independently of p38 MAPK and NFkapp}B activity.

Chronic inflammation, as seen in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn disease, is in part driven by discordant production of inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Tyrosine kinase activity is essential to lipopolysaccharide-induced cytokine production in monocytes, and previous studies by us and others have implicated a role for the Te...

Association and activation of Btk and Tec tyrosine kinases by gp130, a signal transducer of the interleukin-6 family of cytokines.

Interleukin-6 (IL-6), leukemia inhibitory factor, oncostatin M, IL-11, and ciliary neurotrophic factor constitute the IL-6 family of cytokines and play important roles in hematopoiesis, immune response, and nervous system. The receptors for the IL-6 family of cytokines share gp130 through which signals are generated, although the cytoplasmic region of gp130 does not contain any catalytic domain...

P3: Mechanisms of TrkB-Mediated Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation in Learning and Memory

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a process that certain types of synaptic stimulation lead to a long-lasting enhancement in the strength of synaptic transmission. Studies in recent years indicate the importance of molecular pathways in the development of memory and learning. Tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) is a member of the neurotrophin receptor tyrosine kinase family, that its ligand is b...

The Bmx tyrosine kinase induces activation of the Stat signaling pathway, which is specifically inhibited by protein kinase Cdelta.

Members of the hematopoietically expressed Tec tyrosine kinase family have an important role in hematopoietic signal transduction, as exemplified by the crucial role of Btk for B-cell differentiation and activation. Although a variety of cell surface receptors have been found to activate Tec tyrosine kinases, the specific signaling pathways and substrate molecules used by Tec kinases are still ...
