Differential display is a used widely and useful technique for the study of differentially expressed genes. However, very poor results have been obtained in the past when particular gene families were studied. Initially, ...

Serine/threonine protein phosphatases are ubiquitous enzymes in all eukaryotes but many of their physiological roles in plants remain unknown. The available results have demonstrated critical functions for these enzymes ...

Indirect evidence has suggested that K-Cl cotransport in human and sheep erythrocytes is activated physiologically by a serine-threonine phosphatase. It is activated experimentally by H2O2 and by staurosporine, a kinase ...

Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania. Our knowledge of protein phosphatases (PPs) and their implication in signaling events is very limited. Here we report the ...

Reversible protein phosphorylation is a major form of post-translational modification that regulates many cellular processes. Although there are few plant protein phosphatases in comparison with their protein kinase partners, ...

Amphibian metamorphosis is a tightly regulated transformation involving the participation of hormones and other biomolecules in cell death and tail absorption. Among the regulators, phosphate is essential for various ...
