    Evolutionary divergence in the conformational landscapes of tyrosine vs serine/threonine kinases

    Joan Gizzio, Abhishek Thakur ... Ronald M Levy
    Computational methods based on both sequence and structure show evidence that tyrosine kinases are energetically biased to populate the 'DFG-out' type-II inhibitor binding conformation relative to serine/threonine kinases.

    Optogenetic control of excitatory post-synaptic differentiation through neuroligin-1 tyrosine phosphorylation

    Mathieu Letellier, Matthieu Lagardère ... Olivier Thoumine
    Orthogonal to traditional paradigms that manipulate neuroligin expression level, optogenetic stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation highlights a role of the intracellular domain of endogenous neuroligin-1 in excitatory synaptic differentiation and potentiation.

    Methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone, MG-H1, increases food intake by altering tyramine signaling via the GATA transcription factor ELT-3 in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Muniesh Muthaiyan Shanmugam, Jyotiska Chaudhuri ... Pankaj Kapahi
    Advanced glycation end-products (compounds which make the food appetizing and aromatic) intricately modulate organism’s homeostatic and hedonistic signaling pathways thereby inducing preferential consumption of excess nutrients offering preliminary insights into overconsumption of modern-day processed food.

    ACK1 and BRK non-receptor tyrosine kinase deficiencies are associated with familial systemic lupus and involved in efferocytosis

    Stephanie Guillet, Tomi Lazarov ... Frédéric Geissmann
    Loss-of-function variants of human ACK1 and BRK kinase underlie systemic lupus erythematosus in young patients from multiplex families and disrupt the anti-inflammatory response of macrophages to apoptotic cells.

    Two receptor tyrosine phosphatases dictate the depth of axonal stabilizing layer in the visual system

    Satoko Hakeda-Suzuki, Hiroki Takechi ... Takashi Suzuki
    Two receptor tyrosine phosphatases having overlapping function for the determination of the final axon stabilizing layer is encoded for their cumulative cytoplasmic activity and ligand specificity in the visual system.

    pYtags enable spatiotemporal measurements of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in living cells

    Payam E Farahani, Xiaoyu Yang ... Jared E Toettcher
    pYtags are novel biosensors that can be used to measure the activity of a receptor tyrosine kinase of interest in live cells with high spatiotemporal resolution and are applied to reveal rapid activity dynamics of EGFR/ErbB2 signaling.

    Dysregulated Dscam levels act through Abelson tyrosine kinase to enlarge presynaptic arbors

    Gabriella R Sterne, Jung Hwan Kim, Bing Ye
    Targeting Abelson kinase can be beneficial for treating disorders characterized by dysregulated Down Syndrome Cell Adhesion Molecule signaling.

    Phosphorylation of tyrosine 90 in SH3 domain is a new regulatory switch controlling Src kinase

    Lenka Koudelková, Markéta Pelantová ... Daniel Rösel
    The functional role of novel regulatory mechanism within prototypic oncogenic kinase c-Src is described with particular emphasis on cancer cell migration, invasiveness, oncogenic transformation, and multilevel regulation of Src itself.

    The tumor suppressor PTPRK promotes ZNRF3 internalization and is required for Wnt inhibition in the Spemann organizer

    Ling-Shih Chang, Minseong Kim ... Christof Niehrs
    Two cancer related proteins, tyrosine phosphatase PTPRK and ubiquitin ligase ZNRF3, interact to downregulate Wnt receptors, thereby regulating Spemann organizer function during Xenopus development.
