Effects of some inhibitors of serine/threonine and tyrosine protein phosphatases on the depression and spontaneous recovery of the acetylcholine-induced inward current (ACh-current) in command Helix neurons of defensive behavior at the cellular correlate of habituation were investigated. The following drugs were used: okadaic acid (reduces activity ofphosphatases PP1 and PP2A), endothall (PP2A), cyclosporine A and cypermethrin (PP2B), CCT007093 (PPM1D), dephostatin (blocks tyrosine phosphatases). All used inhibitors modify the depression flow, and endothall reduces spontaneous recovery of ACh-current also. Obtained results indicate that changes in cholinosensitivity of command neurons depend on activity of all investigated protein phosphatases. Mathematical model considers the possibility of different localizations of receptors in a neuron and regularity of transitions between them. This model makes it possible to conclude participation indicated phosphatases in mobility of membrane cholinoreceptors ensuring the ACh-current modification at the cellular correlate of habituations. Comparison of experimental and calculated curves of ACh-current change allows to conclude that the main target of protein phosphatases is the transport system of a neuron--cytoskeleton and motor proteins.

A sustained blood-stage infection of the human malaria parasite P. falciparum relies on the active exit of merozoites from their host erythrocytes. During this process, named egress, the infected red blood cell undergoes sequential morphological events: the rounding-up of the surrounding parasitophorous vacuole, the disruption of the vacuole membrane and finally the rupture of the red blood cell membrane.

Cancer cell overexpresses numerus proteins, however, how these up-regulated proteins, especially those enzymatically opposite kinases and phosphatases, act together to promote oncogenesis is unknown. Here, we reported that protein tyrosine phosphatase H1 (PTPH1) is a scaffold protein for receptor tyrosine kinase (HER2) to potentiate breast tumorigenesis. PTPH1 utilizes its PDZ domain to bind HER2, p38γ, PBK, and YAP1 and to increase HER2 nuclear translocation, stemness, and oncogenesis.

Unlabelled: SHP1 (PTPN6) and SHP2 (PTPN11) are closely related protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), which are autoinhibited until their SH2 domains bind paired tyrosine-phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory/switch motifs (ITIMs/ITSMs). These PTPs bind overlapping sets of ITIM/ITSM-bearing proteins, suggesting that they might have some redundant functions. By studying T cell-specific single and double knockout mice, we found that SHP1 and SHP2 redundantly restrain naïve T cell differentiation to effector and central memory phenotypes, with SHP1 playing the dominant role.

High Glucose Inhibits O-GlcNAc Transferase Translocation in Early Osteoblast Differentiation by Altering Protein Phosphatase 2A Activity.

Our previous study revealed a link between O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) localization and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity in osteoblast. Given the association of PP2A downregulation with osteoblast differentiation, we hypothesized that OGT localization changes during this process. We examined OGT localization in MC3T3-E1 cells undergoing differentiation under normal and high glucose conditions.
