We have isolated the murine cDNA homologue of the human protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP-PEST (MPTP-PEST) from an 18.5-day mouse embryonic kidney library. The cDNA isolated has a single open reading frame predicting a protein of 775 amino acids. When expressed in vitro as a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein, the catalytic domain (residues 1-453) shows intrinsic phosphatase activity. Reverse transcriptase PCR and Northern-blot analysis show that MPTP-PEST mRNA is expressed throughout murine development. Indirect immunofluorescence in COS-1 cells against a heterologous epitope tag attached to the N-terminus of MPTP-PEST, together with cellular fractionation and Western-blot experiments from different murine cell lines, indicate that MPTP-PEST is a free cytosolic protein of 112 kDa. Finally, sequence analysis indicates that the C-terminal portion of the protein contains four regions rich in proline, glutamate, serine and threonine, otherwise known as PEST sequences. These are characteristic of proteins that display very short intracellular half-lives. Despite the presence of these motifs, pulse-chase labelling experiments demonstrate that MPTP-PEST has a half-life of more than 4 h.

Novel cDNAs encoding a receptor-like protein-tyrosine phosphatase (rPTP) have been isolated from human breast tumour cells and foetal brain. The predicted protein of ∼160 kDa, called PTPπ, comprises an extracellular portion with a MAM (meprin-A5 antigen-PTPµ) domain, an IgG-like domain and four fibronectin III-like repeats, a hydrophobic transmembrane domain and an intracellular portion consisting of two PTP catalytic units. The predicted amino acid sequence shows high identity with those of the two homophilic binding rPTPs, PTPµ and PTPκ. A variant of PTPπ potentially encoding a protein lacking three amino acids within the N-terminal tyrosine phosphatase domain has been identified. Reverse transcription-PCR has been used to confirm the expression of the variant in human foetal brain tissue. Expression analysis has shown that PTPπ is expressed in a variety of tissue types. Both forms of the N-terminal catalytic domain, the C-terminal catalytic domain and both catalytic domains in tandem were expressed in bacteria as fusion proteins. Intrinsic phosphatase activity was detected for all protein products with an artificial substrate. The fusion protein comprising both domains in tandem was also shown to dephosphorylate purified autophosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor in vitro.

ABSTRACT Removal of colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1) causes macrophages to round up and to increase their expression of protein tyrosine phosphatase φ (PTPφ). This is accompanied by the disruption of focal complexes and the formation of ruffles. Here we have overexpressed wild-type (WT) PTPφ and a phosphatase-inactive (C325S) mutant in a macrophage cell line in the presence and absence of CSF-1. In the presence of CSF-1, WT PTPφ induces cell rounding and ruffle formation, while C325S PTPφ has no effect. In contrast, in CSF-1-starved cells, C325S PTPφ behaves in a dominant negative fashion, preventing rounding and ruffling. Furthermore, C325S PTPφ increases adhesion in cycling cells, while WT PTPφ enhances motility. In WT PTPφ-overexpressing cells, the focal contact protein paxillin is selectively depleted from focal complexes and specifically dephosphorylated on tyrosine. In contrast, paxillin is hyperphosphorylated in C325S PTPφ-expressing cells. Moreover, a complex containing PTPφ, paxillin, and a paxillin-associated tyrosine kinase, Pyk2, can be immunoprecipitated from macrophage lysates, and the catalytic domain of PTPφ selectively binds paxillin and Pyk2 in vitro. Although PTPφ and Pyk2 do not colocalize with paxillin in focal complexes, all three proteins are colocalized in dorsal ruffles. The results suggest that paxillin is dephosphorylated by PTPφ in dorsal ruffles, using Pyk2 as a bridging molecule, resulting in a reduced pool of tyrosine-phosphorylated paxillin available for incorporation into focal complexes, thereby mediating CSF-1 regulation of macrophage morphology, adhesion, and motility.

We describe a potential regulatory mechanism for the transmembrane protein-tyrosine phosphatase CD45. Phosphorylation on both tyrosine and serine residues in vitro results in an activation of CD45 specifically toward one artificial substrate but not another. The activation of these kinases appears to be order dependent, as it is enhanced when phosphorylation of tyrosine precedes that of serine but phosphorylation in the reverse order yields no activation. Any of four protein-tyrosine kinases tested, in combination with the protein-serine/threonine kinase, casein kinase II, was capable of mediating this activation in vitro. The time course of phosphorylation of CD45 in response to T-cell activation is consistent with the possibility that this regulatory mechanism is utilized in vivo.

AbstractTen 3,5-dimethylcoumarins (1–6 and 8‒11) involving six new ones (1–6), together with a known 3-methylcoumarin (7), were isolated from the aerial parts of three Chelonopsis plants, C. praecox, C. odontochila, and C. pseudobracteata. The structures of the new compounds were determined by extensive HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses. According to the substitution at C-5, these coumarins were classified into 5-methyl, 5-hydroxymethyl, 5-formyl, and 5-nor types. All the isolates were assayed for their inhibition on α-glucosidase, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, and T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase in vitro. Graphic Abstract

Senyawa aglikon kurkuligosida A memiliki struktur yang mirip dengan senyawa licoagrochalcone yang terbukti memiliki aktivitas penghambatan yang kuat secara in vitro pada Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), yang dianggap sebagai target terapeutik untuk pengobatan diabetes melitus tipe 2. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui interaksi antara senyawa aglikon kurkuligosida A dan turunannya dengan PTP1B menggunakan metode simulasi docking. Simulasi docking dilakukan dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak AutoDock 4.2. Hasil docking menunjukan semua senyawa yang diuji dapat berinteraksi dengan sisi aktif PTP1B. Interaksi terbaik ditunjukkan oleh senyawa 31 (3,5-dihidroksibensil-3,5-dinitrobenzoate), senyawa 39 (3,5-dihidroksibensil-4-nitrobenzoate) dan senyawa 52 (4-hidroksibensil-4-nitro bensoat) dengan nilai energi bebas ikatan berturut-turut –9,40 kkal/mol ; –9,19 kkal/mol dan –9,03 kkal/mol. Ketiga senyawa tersebut memiliki interaksi dengan sisi aktif PTP1B dengan residu asam amino Ser216 dan Arg221. Semua senyawa turunan aglikon kurkuligosida A yang diuji juga memiliki pola pengikatan yang sama dengan ligan alami pada PTP1B.
