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 …

SecY, SecE, and band 1 copurify as the SecY/E integral membrane domain of Escherichia coli preprotein translocase. To measure the in vivo association of these polypeptides and assay possible exchange, plasmid-borne secY and secE genes were placed under control of the ara regulon and fused to DNA encoding the influenza hemagglutinin epitope. Cells were incubated with [35S]methionine, grown for a "chase" period, and then induced with arabinose to express epitope-tagged, nonradioactive SecY and SecE. Both the wild-type and epitope-tagged polypeptides assembled into functional, heterotrimeric SecY/E complex. However, immunoprecipitation with antibody to the epitope tag did not cross-precipitate radiolabeled SecY or …
