Journal ArticleDOI

Heat-shock protein 70 inhibits apoptosis by preventing recruitment of procaspase-9 to the Apaf-1 apoptosome.

TL;DR: It is shown, using a cell-free system, that Hsp70 prevents cytochrome c/dATP-mediated caspase activation, but allows the formation of Apaf-1 oligomers, which suppresses apoptosis by directly associating with Apf-1 and blocking the assembly of a functional apoptosome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lubricin/Proteoglycan 4 binds to and regulates the activity of Toll-Like Receptors In Vitro

TL;DR: Lubricin can bind to and regulate the activity of TLRs, leading to downstream changes in inflammatory signalling independent of HA, and is confirmed in vivo through intra-articular injections of lubricin in a rat OA model where the inhibition of systemic inflammatory signaling and reduction in pain were observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of the Low Molecular Weight Phosphotyrosine Phosphatase by Phosphorylation at Tyrosines 131 and 132

TL;DR: It is reported that normal T lymphocytes express the B isoform of low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatase B (LMPTP-B), and site-directed mutagenesis showed that Tyr-131 is important for the catalytic activity of LMPTP, and that thiophosphorylation of Tyr- 131, and to a lesser degree Tyr-132, is responsible for the activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The next wave: protein tyrosine phosphatases enter T cell antigen receptor signalling.

TL;DR: The current state-of-the-art in the understanding of the structure, regulation and role of protein tyrosine phosphatases in T lymphocyte activation is summarized.
