We report that the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP-PEST is expressed in resting human and mouse CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, but not in Jurkat T leukemia cells, and that PTP-PEST protein, but not mRNA, was dramatically downregulated in CD4(+) and C...

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are important regulators of many cellular functions and a growing number of PTPs have been implicated in human disease conditions, such as developmental defects, neoplastic disorders, and immunodeficiency. Here...

Src family kinases are suppressed by a "tail bite" mechanism, in which the binding of a phosphorylated tyrosine in the C terminus of the protein to the Src homology (SH)2 domain in the N-terminal half of the protein forces the catalytic domain int...
The long-term exposure of mice to superantigen SEA using a mini-osmotic pump (SEA pump) induced a long-lasting expansion of V beta 3(+)CD4(+) T cells with T helper (Th) 2 cell-type properties. Removal of the SEA pump 10 days after pump implantatio...

PTPN3 (PTPH1) is a cytoskeletal protein tyrosine phosphatase that has been implicated as a negative regulator of early TCR signal transduction and T cell activation. To determine whether PTPN3 functions as a physiological negative regulator of TCR...
