چکیده

The Src family of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases plays a critical role in the progression of human cancers so that the development of its specific inhibitors is important as a therapeutic tool. We previously reported that cysteine residues in the cysteine-cluster (CC) motif of v-Src were critical for the kinase inactivation by the SH-alkylating agents such as N-(9-acridinyl) maleimide (NAM), whereas other cysteine residues were dispensable. We found similar CC-motifs in other Src-family kinases and a non-Src-family kinase, FAK. In this study, we explored the function of the CC-motif in Yes, Lyn and FAK. While Src has four cysteines in the CC-motif, c-Yes and Lyn have three and two of the four cysteines, respectively. Two conserved cysteines of the Src family kinases, corresponding to Cys487 and Cys498 of Src, were essential for the resistance to the inactivation of the kinase activity by NAM, whereas the first cysteine of c-Yes, which is absent in Lyn, was less important. FAK has similar CC-motifs with two cysteines and both cysteines were again essential for the resistance to the inactivation of the kinase activity by NAM. Taken together, modification of cysteine residues of the CC-motif causes a repressor effect on the catalytic activity of the Src family kinases and FAK.

Melatonin Induced Schwann Cell Proliferation and Dedifferentiation Through NF-ĸB, FAKDependent but Src-Independent Pathways

Background: Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a common condition that compromises motor and sensory functions. Peripheral nerves are known to have regenerative capability and the pineal hormone, melatonin, is known to aid nerve regeneration. However, the role of Schwann cells and the pathways involved remain unclear. Thus, the aim of this study is to identify the effects of melatonin on Schwann ...

Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) Involvement in Human Endometrial Remodeling During the Menstrual Cycle

Background: Endometrial remodeling occurs during each menstrual cycle in women. Reports have shown that, in a variety of cell types, processes such as proliferation, signaling complex formation and extra cellular matrix remodeling require a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, focal adhesion kinase (FAK). The present study has focused on the expression pattern of FAK in human endometrium during the men...

Expression and muscarinic receptor coupling of Lyn kinase in cultured human airway smooth muscle cells.

Src family tyrosine kinases are signaling intermediates in a diverse array of cellular events including cell differentiation, motility, proliferation, and survival. In nonairway smooth muscle cells, muscarinic receptors directly interact with Src family tyrosine kinases. As little is known about the expression and signaling of these Src family tyrosine kinases in human airway smooth muscle cell...

Members of the src family of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases share a common mechanism for membrane binding.

The src family of nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinases share extensive sequence homology, except for 80 NH2-terminal amino acids, thought to comprise a "unique" domain. This region is presumed to mediate interactions specific to each kinase. Recently, we identified three NH2-terminal lysine residues, crucial for pp60v-src membrane association. Surprisingly, these lysines are conserved among sev...
