Smad about elastin regulation.
Elastin is crucial to pulmonary function, yet it appears in the pulmonary vasculature and interstitium late in gestation in large mammals and postnatally in rodents (1). Deletion of the ELN gene in mice produces obstructive arterial disease (2, 3) and disrupts terminal airway branching as well as alveogenesis (4); moreover, several forms of elastic tissue disease collectively known as cutis lax...
متن کاملRegulation of Smad Activity
binding by the ternary Smad–FAST complex. Smad3 can bers are a group of secreted polypeptides that regulate replace Smad2 in this complex and at the Mix.2 element a diverse array of developmental and biological pro-can activate transcription (Yeo et al., 1999), whereas at the cesses. Disruption of the ligands or of components of goosecoid promoter Smad3 blocks activation (Labbé et their signali...
متن کاملKinase Regulation: Competing Phosphatases in JAK Dephosphorylation
The Janus kinases (JAKs) are essential for cytokine receptor signalling and their dephosphorylation represents a potent inhibitory mechanism. A new paper highlights the T-cell tyrosine phosphatase as an important JAK inhibitor.
متن کاملCofilin phosphatases and regulation of actin dynamics.
Cofilin is a ubiquitous actin-binding factor required for the reorganization of actin filaments in eukaryotes. The dephosphorylation of cofilin enables its actin severing and depolymerizing activity and drives directional cell motility, thus providing a simple phosphoregulatory mechanism for actin reorganization. To date, two cofilin-specific phosphatases have been identified: Slingshot and Chr...
متن کاملMetabolic regulation by protein tyrosine phosphatases
Obesity and the metabolic syndrome and their associated morbidities are major public health issues, whose prevalence will continue to increase in the foreseeable future. Aberrant signaling by the receptors for leptin and insulin plays a pivotal role in development of the metabolic syndrome. More complete molecular-level understanding of how both of these key signaling pathways are regulated is ...
