Example sentences for: dephosphorylation

How can you use “dephosphorylation” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • The dephosphorylation of phosphoproteins is universally catalyzed by protein phosphatases that are classified into two major functional groups, protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) and protein serine/threonine phosphatase (PP) although enzymes with various degrees of dual-specificity are also encountered [ 1 2 3 4 5 ] . The majority of Ser/Thr phosphatases belong to three classical groups, namely PP1, PP2A, and PP2B (calcineurin), and possess similar primary structures in their catalytic cores [ 2 3 6 ] . PP1, in particular, exhibits an extremely high degree of sequence conservation through evolution, and its orthologs and isoforms are found in all eukaryotic cells [ 6 7 ] . In various organisms, PP1 regulates such diverse cellular processes as cell cycle progression, protein synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, transcription, and neuronal signaling [ 3 7 ] , underscoring its profound importance in biology.

  • The best characterized regulation of α-secretase processing typically involves protein phosphorylation via PKC [5,29] or ERKs [7] or protein dephosphorylation by protein phosphatase 1 or 2A [29].

  • Results suggested that SAHA induced cell growth arrest through dephosphorylation of three pRb pocket proteins, which may be related to inhibition in G1/S phase cdk activities.

  • For example, the stress kinase JNK1 was activated during TLK286 induced apoptosis [ 17 ] and JNK is known to be activated during apoptosis induced by a variety of stress stimuli [ 18 ] . However, in HL60/TLK286 resistant cells, we observed an overexpression of two phosphatases PP2 (AA599092) and MKP5 (AA056608) involved in JNK dephosphorylation and inactivation (Table 2).

  • In fact, dephosphorylation of moesin occurred in mouse epithelial MTD-1 cells during fixation in 1% or 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 15 min [ 12].
