Vascular leakage from pathological vessels in retinopathy aggravates the disease, but endothelial junction stability and barrier integrity can be restored by blocking formation of nitric oxide.
A high-throughput method to profile tyrosine kinases and phosphotyrosine recognition domains reveals new rules for sequence specificity and maps the effects of mutations on the recognition of tyrosine phosphorylation sites.
Two cancer related proteins, tyrosine phosphatase PTPRK and ubiquitin ligase ZNRF3, interact to downregulate Wnt receptors, thereby regulating Spemann organizer function during Xenopus development.
