Phosphorylation of endogenous inhibitor proteins specific for type-1 Ser/Thr phosphatase (PP1) provides a mechanism for reciprocal coordination of kinase and phosphatase activities. Phosphorylation of Thr38 in the inhibitor protein CPI-17 transduces G-protein-mediated signaling into a > 1000-fold increase of inhibitory potency toward myosin phosphatase. We show here the solution NMR structure of phospho-T38-CPI-17 with r. m. s. d. of 0.36 ± 0.06 Å for the backbone secondary structure, which reveals how phosphorylation triggers a conformational change and exposes the PP1 inhibitory surface. This active conformation is stabilized by the formation of a hydrophobic core of intercalated side-chains, which is not formed …

Cyclin D1 promotes nuclear DNA synthesis through phosphorylation and inactivation of the pRb tumor suppressor. Herein, cyclin D1 deficiency increased mitochondrial size and activity that was rescued by cyclin D1 in a Cdk-dependent manner. Nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF-1), which induces nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes, was repressed in expression and activity by cyclin D1. Cyclin D1-dependent kinase phosphorylates NRF-1 at S47. Cyclin D1 abundance thus coordinates nuclear DNA synthesis and mitochondrial function.

Protein-tyrosine-phosphatases (PTPases) have been implicated in the regulation of certain tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors in that they dephosphorylate the activated (autophosphorylated) form of the receptors. In order to identify PTPases that potentially act on receptor targets in liver, we used the human leucocyte common antigen-related PTPase (LAR) cDNA [Streuli, Krueger, Hall, Schlossman and Saito (1988) J. Exp. Med. 168, 1523-1530] and isolated two closely related transmembrane PTPase homologues from a rat hepatic cDNA library. Both PTPases had large extracellular domains that contained three immunoglobulin-like repeats and eight type-III fibronectin repeats. Both enzymes had tandem homologous PTPase domains following a …

Protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) play an essential role in the regulation of signal transduction mediated by reversible protein-tyrosine phosphorylation. In order to characterize individual rat hepatic PTPases that might have specificity for autophosphorylated receptor tyrosine kinases, we isolated cDNA segments encoding three PTPases (PTPase 1B, LAR and LRP) that are expressed in insulin-sensitive liver and skeletal muscle tissue, and evaluated their catalytic activity in vitro. The intrinsic PTPase activities of the full-length PTPase 1B protein and the cytoplasmic domains of LAR and LRP were studied by expression of recombinant cDNA constructs in the inducible bacterial vector pKK233-2 using extracts of …
