Download or read book Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Control of Metabolism written by Kendra K. Bence and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-30 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although phosphorylation of proteins on tyrosine is relatively rare compared to phosphorylation on serine or threonine residues, the past two decades of research into PTP function have led to a great appreciation of the critical role PTPs have in regulating basic cellular processes. Among these important roles is the regulation of cellular signaling pathways related to metabolism. This volume contains chapters which highlight many aspects of PTP function in the context of metabolism. Given the growing obesity and diabetes epidemics in the United States and throughout the world, the desire to identify possible therapeutic targets for treatment of these diseases is a high priority. In many ways, PTPs may be attractive drug targets since they are amenable to targeting with small molecules; however many challenges abound in making PTP inhibitors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protein tyrosine phosphatases remove phosphates from the phosphotyrosine residues of target proteins and reverse the action of various protein tyrosine kinases. This essential interplay between the opposing actions of protein tyrosine phosphatases and protein tyrosine kinases forms the basis of signaling networks that underlie the cellular workings of human physiology. Initially passed-off as housekeeping genes; these proteins were only acknowledged to maintain a steady background of phosphotyrosine levels in the cell. However, recent progress in studying their role in embryonic development and human disease has established their importance as regulators of signal regulation. Convincing evidence shows the role of mutations in these proteins to cause and/or intensify the severity of various diseases including metabolic and neurological disorders and also cancer. Protein tyrosine phosphatases have slowly, yet convincingly become crucial targets for therapeutic intervention of various human pathophysiologies. This book describes these signaling enzymes using the molecular details of their structure and mechanistic function. Various subtypes of cysteine-based Class I, II, III and the Haloacid dehalogenase related Class IV protein tyrosine phosphatases have been illustrated and explained. The superfamily of proteins is also described vis-a-vis its complimentary protein phosphoserine/phosphoserine phosphatases. Membrane bound receptor forms and the cytosolic non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases have been described for their biological function. This book serves as a reference for any reader looking to understand the sequence features, structural elements, molecular mechanism and cellular function of this superfamily of signaling enzymes.
Book Synopsis Bridging the Gap Between Protein-tyrosine Phosphorylation Networks, Metabolism and Physiology in Liver-specific PTP1b Deletion Mice by : Emily Rae Miraldi
Download or read book Bridging the Gap Between Protein-tyrosine Phosphorylation Networks, Metabolism and Physiology in Liver-specific PTP1b Deletion Mice written by Emily Rae Miraldi and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metabolic syndrome describes a complex set of obesity-related disorders that enhance diabetes, cardiovascular, and mortality risk. Studies of liver-specific protein-tyrosine phosphatase lb (PTPlb) deletion mice (L-PTPlb-/-) suggests that hepatic PTPlb inhibition would mitigate metabolic syndrome progression through amelioration of hepatic insulin resistance, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and whole-body lipid metabolism. However, the network alterations underlying these phenotypes are poorly understood. Mass spectrometry was used to quantitatively discover protein phosphotyrosine network changes in L-PTP lb-/- mice relative to control mice under both normal and high-fat diet conditions. A phosphosite set enrichment analysis was developed to identify numerous pathways exhibiting PTPlb- and diet-dependent phosphotyrosine regulation. Detection of PTP lb-dependent phosphotyrosine sites on lipid metabolic proteins initiated global lipidomics characterization of corresponding liver samples and revealed altered fatty acid and triglyceride metabolism in L-PTPlb-/- mice. Multivariate modeling techniques were developed to infer molecular dependencies between phosphosites and lipid metabolic changes, resulting in quantitatively predictive phenotypic models.
Book Synopsis Investigations Into the Chemistry of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Redox Regulation by : Jason N. LaButti
Download or read book Investigations Into the Chemistry of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Redox Regulation written by Jason N. LaButti and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transmission of complex intracellular signals, such as those for glucose uptake or proliferation, is often accomplished through the reversible phosphorylation of specific protein tyrosine residues. This reversible phosphorylation serves as a biochemical "rheostat" that alters a protein's functional properties and leads to propagation of the signal. The phosphorylation status of these tyrosine residues, thus transmission of the cellular signal itself, is tightly controlled by the opposing actions of protein tyrosine kinases that catalyze the addition of phosphoryl groups and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are cysteine based enzymes that catalyze their removal. Abstraction of these phosphoryl groups, in many cases, serves as an "off switch" to terminate the cellular responses to the extracellular stimulus. PTPs, therefore, play a central role in the regulation of diverse cellular processes including glucose metabolism, cell cycle control and immune responses. Accordingly, small molecules capable of inactivating PTPs through reversible oxidation of their active site cysteine thiolate may find use as therapeutic agents and/or tools for the study of diverse signal transduction pathways. In the body of work presented here we report the chemical properties of a novel PTP redox regulator and develop new methodologies for studying PTP redox regulation.

Book Synopsis Roles of Protein-tyrosine Phosphatases in the Endocrine Pancreas by : Yannan Xi
Download or read book Roles of Protein-tyrosine Phosphatases in the Endocrine Pancreas written by Yannan Xi and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and T cell protein-tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP) are structurally similar cytosolic proteins that are implicated in the regulation of metabolism. PTP1B is an important physiological regulator of glucose homeostasis and energy balance and the role of PTP1B in liver, muscle, and brain has been established. TCPTP is implicated in cytokine-induced pancreatic beta-cell apoptosis and is a candidate gene in type 1 diabetes. However, the roles of PTP1B and TCPTP in pancreatic endocrine function and insulin secretion remain largely unknown. To explore the metabolic role of PTP1B in the pancreas, we generated mice with pancreas-specific PTP1B deletion (panc-PTP1B KO) and fed them chow or high fat diet (HFD) and evaluated their glucose tolerance and insulin secretion. Insulin secretion and biochemical studies were performed on isolated islets and MIN6 cells with knockdown (KD) and reconstituted PTP1B. On regular chow, aged panc-PTP1B KO mice exhibited glucose intolerance compared with controls. HFD led to earlier impairment of glucose tolerance and attenuated glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in panc-PTP1B KO mice. Ex vivo studies demonstrated attenuated GSIS in KO islets and in MIN6 cells with PTP1B knockdown indicating a cell autonomous defect. Mechanistically, basal and glucose-stimulated EphA5 tyrosyl phosphorylation was enhanced in PTP1B deficient islets and in MIN6 cells with PTP1B knockdown. PTP1B reconstitution in KD cells attenuated EphA5 phosphorylation indicating that it is regulated by PTP1B. Moreover, EphA5 mutagenesis revealed that various tyrosine residues differentially modulate insulin secretion, and demonstrated that PTP1B directly regulates insulin secretion, at least in part, via EphA5. Collectively, our studies identify a novel role for pancreatic PTP1B and uncover EphA5 as a physiologically-relevant target for PTP1B. To investigate the metabolic role of TCPTP in pancreatic endocrine function, we generated mice with TCPTP deletion (panc-TCPTP KO). Mice were fed regular chow and HFD and insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis were determined. When fed regular chow diet panc-TCPTP KO mice exhibited comparable glucose tolerance to controls. On the other hand, when challenged with prolonged HFD panc-TCPTP KO mice exhibited impaired glucose tolerance and attenuated glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) compared with controls. Ex vivo studies using primary islets demonstrated attenuated GSIS in panc-TCPTP KO islets compared with controls indicating that the effects are cell autonomous. In addition, lentiviral-mediated knockdown of TCPTP in the glucose-responsive MIN6 beta-cells attenuated GSIS while reconstitution of TCPTP restored GSIS to levels compared with controls demonstrating that the effects are directly caused by TCPTP deficiency. Similarly, pharmacological inhibition of TCPTP in Min6 cells attenuated GSIS. At the molecular level we identified STAT 1/3 as direct TCPTP substrates and modulators of its functions in beta-cells. In summary, these studies identify a novel role for TCPTP in insulin secretion and uncover STAT3 as physiologically-relevant target for TCPTP in the pancreas.

Book Synopsis The Metabolic Effects of Novel Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) Substrates by : Jesse Bakke
Download or read book The Metabolic Effects of Novel Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) Substrates written by Jesse Bakke and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protein tyrosine phosphorylation is a covalent modification by protein tyrosine kinases and opposed by protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Protein phosphorylation is an important regulator of cell signaling pathways in all life forms and aberrant changes of phosphorylated proteins are often associated with diseases, such as cancer and metabolic diseases: obesity and type II diabetes. Importantly, there are over one hundred identified PTPs strictly defined with an active-site signature motif of HCX5R. Out of the one hundred total PTPs, thirty-seven are classical PTPs that are either transmembrane receptor-like PTPs or non-transmembrane PTPs. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a non-transmembrane PTP, bound to the cytoplasmic face of endoplasmic reticulum with a C-terminal anchor. PTP1B has several well- known substrates, including the insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1). PTP1B gained popularity as a therapeutic target due to the striking phenotype observed in mice following PTP1B gene deletion. The mice exhibited improved insulin sensitivity and decreased body weight upon high fat diet (HFD) feeding. Through tissue specific deletion, it was revealed that PTP1B has cell/tissue specific roles. Briefly, PTP1B deletion from muscle and liver results in improved insulin sensitivity and neuronal deletion of PTP1B results in resistance to HFD- induced obesity. Adipose specific deletion of PTP1B remains controversial with several contradictory reports; this argues for further work to be done to determine PTP1Bs role within adipose tissue. This dissertation uncovers novel PTP1B substrates in the adipose, syntaxin binding protein 3 (munc18c) and pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), and highlights the regulatory role of PTP1B in glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) externalization as well as glycolytic flux. And surprisingly, PKM2 deficiency results in the emergence of a thermogenic program in white adipocytes.

Book Synopsis Inactivation of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases by Endogenous and Dietary Agents by : Derrick R. Seiner
Download or read book Inactivation of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases by Endogenous and Dietary Agents written by Derrick R. Seiner and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protein tyrosine phosphatases are a class of enzymes that control a number of critical signaling pathways inside cells. We have discovered a number of dietary and endogenous agents that are capable of modifying these enzymes, and therefore disrupting signaling pathways inside cells. It is possible that these small molecules are exerting their widely reported biological effect by the modification of protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. This information is critical to our understanding of dietary effect on diseases like diabetes and cancer. In addition to this work, we have explored the chemistry of the most common DNA lesion, the abasic site. We have found it is capable of producing an interstrand crosslink in duplex DNA, when placed in the right sequence context. This work significantly expands our understanding of the toxicity of abasic sites to cells. Furthermore, this work may result in developing novel treatment strategies for cancer.
Book Synopsis Regulation of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases by Glucose by : Hoang Kim Le-Tien
Download or read book Regulation of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases by Glucose written by Hoang Kim Le-Tien and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exposure of tissues to high glucose concentrations (HG) induces a number of alterations in cell signalling. The role in these effects of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), key enzymes regulating the extent and duration of tyrosine phosphorylation, has not been studied. 'Hypothesis'. HG will cause changes in PTP expression and activity which contribute to the effects of HG on signalling. 'Results'. Exposure of rat adipocytes to HG with insulin and cultured rat mesangial cells (MCs) to HG caused an increase in protein content of transmembrane PTPÃ, but no change in the intracellular SHP2 or PTP1B. Transmernbrane PTP LAR was detected only in adipocytes and was decreased. Specific activity of PTPÃ was not altered in adipocytes, but decreased in MCs. HG is thought to modulate its effects in MCs by PKC activation and PKC downregulation with phorbol myristate acetate blocked the increased in PTPÃ by HG. The cytosolic tyrosine kinase Src, a substrate of and activated by PTPÃ, was increased by HG in protein but specific activity was decreased by HQ consistent with decreased activity of PTPÃ. 'Conclusion'. HG causes changes in cellular PTPs which may contribute to the altered signalling observed.
