Journal ArticleDOI

A Role for Nuclear PTEN in Neuronal Differentiation

TL;DR: Observations indicate that PTEN acts at multiple sites in the cell, regulating the transition of differentiating neuroblasts to postmitotic neurons, and is not required for astrocytic differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNAi-based analysis of CAP, Cbl, and CrkII function in the regulation of GLUT4 by insulin.

TL;DR: The dose-response relationship for insulin stimulation of deoxyglucose transport in primary adipocytes derived from c-Cbl knock-out mice was identical to insulin action on adipocytes from wild type mice, consistent with the hypothesis that CAP, Cbl iso-forms, and CrkII are not required components of insulin signaling to GLUT4 transporters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of insulin signalling by RNAi-based gene silencing

TL;DR: Results show that Akt2/PKBbeta is the key downstream intermediate within the phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway linked to insulin action on GLUT4 in cultured adipocytes, whereas PTEN is a potent negative regulator of this pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel phosphatidylinositol(3,4,5)P3 pathway in fission yeast

TL;DR: Surprisingly, upon deletion of ptn1 in S. pombe, PI(3,4,5)P3 became detectable at levels comparable to those in mammalian cells, indicating that a pathway exists for synthesis of this lipid and that the S.pombe ptn 1, like mammalian PTEN, suppresses PI(2,3,5), which is suggested to have evolved before the appearance of class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases.
