A technique to detect and analyze phosphotyrosine containing peptides after separation of total cellular proteins by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis is described. This is achieved by electroblotting of proteins on nylon membranes followed by alkali treatment. In comparison with direct alkali treatment of the polyacrylamide gel, this procedure is easier to perform; avoids the diffusion of proteins out of the gel during alkali treatment; allows a more precise localization of phosphotyrosine containing peptides on the untreated membrane; and is less time consuming with respect to extraction of proteins for phosphoamino acid analysis.

Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of proteins play critical roles in regulating many cellular events. Antibodies targeting site-specific PTMs are essential tools for detecting and enriching PTMs at sites of interest. However, fundamental difficulties in molecular recognition of both PTM and surrounding peptide sequence have hindered the efficient generation of highly sequence-specific anti-PTM antibodies.

Short linear peptide motifs play important roles in cell signaling. They can act as modification sites for enzymes and as recognition sites for peptide binding domains. SH2 domains bind specifically to tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, with the affinity of the interaction depending strongly on the flanking sequence.

Introduction: Dual specific phosphatases (DUSPs) are mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) regulators, which also serve as drug targets for treating various vascular diseases. Previously, we have presented mechanistic characterizations of DUSP5 and its interaction with pERK, proposing a dual active site.
Methods: Herein, we characterize the interactions between the DUSP5 phosphatase domain and the pT-E-pY activation loop of ERK2, with specific active site assignments.
Kinomic profiling to predict sunitinib response of patients with metastasized clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Introduction: Treatment with Sunitinib, a potent multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) has increased the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall-survival (OS) of patients with metastasized renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). With modest OS improvement and variable response and toxicity predictive and/or prognostic biomarkers are needed to personalize patient management: Prediction of individual TKI therapy response and resistance will increase successful treatment outcome while reducing unnecessary drug use and expense. The aim of this study was to investigate whether kinase activity analysis can predict sunitinib response and/or toxicity using tissue samples obtained from primary clear cell RCC (ccRCC) from a cohort of clinically annotated patients with mRCC receiving sunitinib as first-line treatment.

The point mutation N642H of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 5B (STAT5B) protein is associated with aggressive and drug-resistant forms of leukemia. This mutation is thought to promote cancer due to hyperactivation of STAT5B caused by increased stability of the active, parallel dimer state. However, the molecular mechanism leading to this stabilization is not well understood as there is currently no structure of the parallel dimer.
