Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence-specific and phosphorylation dependent proline isomerization: A potential mitotic regulatory mechanism

TL;DR: Pin1 is shown to be a phosphorylation-dependent PPIase that specifically recognizes the phosphoserine-proline or phosphothreonine- Proline bonds present in mitotic phosphoproteins, providing the basis for the specific interaction between Pin1 and MPM-2 antigens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Function of WW Domains as Phosphoserine- or Phosphothreonine-Binding Modules

TL;DR: The Pin1 WW domain functioned as a phosphoserine- or phosphothreonine-binding module, with properties similar to those of SRC homology 2 domains, which was required for Pin1 to interact with its substrates in vitro and to perform its essential function in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pin1-dependent prolyl isomerization regulates dephosphorylation of Cdc25C and tau proteins.

TL;DR: It is shown that the major Pro-directed phosphatase PP2A is conformation-specific and effectively dephosphorylates only the trans pSer/Thr-Pro isomer, and prolyl isomerase activity of Pin1 is essential for cell division in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

The essential mitotic peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1 binds and regulates mitosis-specific phosphoproteins.

TL;DR: It is reported that in both human cells and Xenopus extracts, Pin1 interacts directly with a subset of mitotic phosphoproteins on phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro motifs in a phosphorylation-dependent and mitosis-specific manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of phosphorylation in determining the backbone dynamics of the serine/ threonine-proline motif and pin1 substrate recognition

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that protein phosphorylation specifically regulates the backbone dynamics of the Ser/Thr-Pro motifs and that Pin1 specifically isomerizes the certain conformation of the phosphorylated Ser/ threonine-proline motifs.
