General description

Tyrosine phosphorylation represents a major mechanism for the activation of signal transduction pathways in response to growth factors, hormones and cytokines. There are approximately 100 tyrosine kinases that are both receptor tyrsosine kinase receptors for various growth factors and cytokines. The extent and duration of tyrosine phosphorylation are tightly regulated by the 107 protein tyrosine phosphatases. Tyrosine phosphorylation occurs on residues on either other kinases (Ser/Thr or Tyr) or on substrates. In the case of kinases, this phosphorylation often causes the enzyme to change activation states and/or it creates binding sites for SH2 domain. Mutation or misregulation of protein tyrosine kinases is a cause or consequence of many disease states. It has been estimated that 20% of oncogenes so far described are tyrosine kinases. With such clear links between aberrant protein tyrosine kinase activity and disease, it is no surprise that much of the early effort in kinase drug discovery was focused on these enzymes.

Phosphotyrosine coupled to KLH, BSA, and OVA was used for the production and screening of antibodies to phosphotyrosine. 800 hybridomas secreting antibodies that bound to phosphotyrosine were detected by ELISA. The most reactive 100 of these 800 were tested subsequently

Adipocyte differentiation can be regulated by the combined activity of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). In particular, PTPs act as key regulators in differentiation-associated signaling pathways. We recently found that receptor-type PTPμ (RPTPμ) expression is markedly

The murine EL4 lymphoma cell line exists in variants that are either sensitive or resistant to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). In sensitive cells, PMA causes Erk MAPK activation and Erk-mediated growth arrest. In resistant cells, PMA induces a low level

Although the growth factor progranulin was discovered more than two decades ago, the functional receptor remains elusive. Here, we discovered that EphA2, a member of the large family of Ephrin receptor tyrosine kinases, is a functional signaling receptor for progranulin.

Transmembrane receptors interact with extracellular ligands to transduce intracellular signaling cascades, modulate target gene expression, and regulate processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and homeostasis. As a consequence, aberrant signaling events often underlie human disease. Whereas the vertebrate JAK/STAT signaling
