Protein tyrosine phosphatases

Abstract: The molecular mechanisms of signal transduction have been at the focus of increasingly intense scientific research. As a result, our understanding of protein tyrosine kinase-mediated signaling has advanced at an unprecedented pace during the past decade. In contrast, the study of protein tyrosine phosphatases has lagged behind, but is now gathering momentum and is predicted to become a "hot topic" in the field within the next few years. This review summarizes the current state-of-the art in our understanding o… Show more

“…Protein phosphorylation occurs on serine, threonine or tyrosine residues. Although the extent of phosphorylation on tyrosine residues is found to be the least compared to the other two (3), tyrosine phosphorylation is a unique characteristic of eukaryote and multicellular signaling (4). Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) constitute a large protein family with more than ∼100 genes in human (5-7).…”

“…Reversible tyrosine phosphorylation regulates important signaling pathways involved in the control of adhesion, differentiation, and proliferation. Although equal and balanced activities of PTKs and PTPs have been reported in many physiological processes, the recent findings of several studies contribute to the idea that PTPs have specific, active and even dominant roles in tyrosine phosphorylation (6,7). Furthermore, several PTPs seem to act as biochemical “on” or “off” switches and as key regulators in many intracellular signaling pathways (8).…”

“…Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are a sort of fundamental phosphatases responsible for the dephosphorylation of phosphorylated tyrosines in proteins that are involved in various biological processes including embryogenesis, organ development, tissue homeostasis, and the immune defenses in multicellular eukaryotes ( 1 , 2 ). To date, more than 100 PTPs have been identified in the human genome and most of them possess non-redundant functions verified by the unique phenotypes of many reported gene deletions in mice ( 3 , 4 ).…”
