  2. 16. Protein Dynamics Studied by NMR. Kinetics of the Adipocyte Fatty Acid-Binding Protein and Oligomerisation of the Low Molecular Weight Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase

    Author : Tomas Åkerud; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) has been used to determine the kinetics of ligand binding to the adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP), as well as the oligomerisation and inter- and intramolecular dynamics of the low molecular weight-protein tyrosine phosphatase (LMW-PTP) in solution. NMR spectroscopy is sensitive to dynamic processes on timescales ranging from picoseconds to days. READ MORE

  4. 17. Viral Control of SR Protein Activity

    Author : Camilla Estmer Nilsson; Neus Visa; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; adenovirus; ASF SF2; dephosphorylation; E4-ORF4; L1; MLTU; PP2A; splicing; SR proteins; vaccinia virus; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical Virology; medicinsk virologi;

    Abstract : Viruses modulate biosynthetic machineries of the host cell for a rapid and efficient virus replication. One important way of modulating protein activity in eukaryotic cells is by reversible phosphorylation. In this thesis we have studied adenovirus and vaccinia virus, two DNA viruses with different replication stategies. READ MORE

  5. 18. Computer Simulation of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Reaction Mechanisms and Dihydrofolate Reductase Inhibition

    Author : Karin Kolmodin; Ernst-Walter Knapp; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biotechnology; Molekylär bioteknik;

    Abstract : Protein tyrosine phosphatases catalyse the hydrolysis of phosphotyrosine residues in proteins, which is an important reaction in the cell signalling system. The three dimensional structure of such a protein tyrosine phosphatase has been used in a computational study of the reaction mechanism at the atomic level. READ MORE

  6. 19. T-Cell Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase, a Regulator of the PDGF Signaling Pathway

    Author : Susann Karlsson; Carina Hellberg; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Bengt Hallberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PDGF; TC-PTP; receptor trafficking; PK-M2; Medical cell biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi; molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Abstract : Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent stimulator of cell growth, survival and motility. PDGF exerts its function by binding to specific tyrosine kinase receptors, initiating receptor auotphosphorylation and initiation of specific signaling pathways that regulates the cellular response.

  7. 20. Regulation of Na+,K+-ATPase activity by protein phosphatase-1 and protein kinase C : studies in infant and adult renal tissue and on vascular smooth muscle cells

    Author : Dailin Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Na ; K -ATPase; phosphorylation; protein kinase C; protein phosphatase-1; arachidonic acid metabolites; ontogeny;

    Abstract : Na+, K+-ATPase is short-term modulated by hormones, involving activation of signal transduction system. The present study was designed to elucidate the role of the signaling molecules PP-1, PKC and arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites in the regulation of Na+, K+-ATPase by reversible phosphorylation, the final step of the signal transduction, and to examine the ontogeny of the signaling system.
