1. The characteristics of Ca2+-activated ATPase activities previously often postulated as components for the calcium transporting system in fish gills do not fulfil the requirements of a transport Ca: '-ATPase. 2. The chelation of Ca;~or Mg:~-ions is a prerequisite for the adenosinephosphate esters to serve as substrate for gill plasma membrane phosphatases. 3. Ca2+-activated ATP hydrolysis res...

In the present study, we identified protein phosphatases dephosphorylating centrins previously phosphorylated by protein kinase CK2. The following phosphatases known to be present in the retina were tested: PP1, PP2A, PP2B, PP2C, PP5, and alkaline phosphatase. PP2C α and β were capable of dephosphorylating P-Thr-centrin1 most efficiently. PP2Cδ was inactive and the other retinal phosphatases al...

Abstract Background The reliance on chemical inputs to support high yields is the Achilles’ heel of modern crop production. soil organic matter management as old agriculture itself. Recently, use soluble humic substances plant growth promoters has been brought attention due their effects nutrient uptake and water efficiency. Humic applied directly at low concentrations can trigger different mol...

Protein tyrosine phosphatases are crucial regulators of signal transduction and function as antagonists towards protein tyrosine kinases to control reversible tyrosine phosphorylation, thereby regulating fundamental physiological processes. Growing evidence has supported the notion that reversible oxidative inactivation of the catalytic cysteine residue in protein tyrosine phosphatases serves a...
