FAT10 differentially stabilizes MYPT2 isoforms.

Myosin phosphatase (MP) is an enzyme complex that regulates muscle contraction and plays important roles in various physiological and pathological conditions. Myosin phosphatase targeting subunit (MYPT) 2, a subunit of MP, interacts with protein phosphatase 1c to regulate its phosphatase activity. MYPT2 exists in various isoforms that differ in the composition of essential motifs that contribute to its function.

15-Prostaglandin Dehydrogenase Inhibition Enhances Colon Cancer Metastasis by Up-regulation of Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition Genes.

Background/aim: Most deaths from colon cancer are due to metastasis. Recently, PGE2 was found to influence colon cancer invasion and metastasis. 15-PGDH, an enzyme that metabolizes PGE2, is known as a tumor suppressor in colonic carcinogenesis.
