| Abstract | EphA2 receptor tyrosine kinase and the human cytoplasmic protein tyrosine phosphatase (HCPTP) are overexpressed in a number of epithelial cancers. Overexpressed EphA2 in these cancers shows a significant decrease in phosphotyrosine content which results in suppression of receptor signaling and endocytosis and an increase in metastatic potential. The decreased phosphotyrosine content of EphA2 has been associated with decreased contact with its ligand, ephrin A1 and dephosphorylation by HCPTP. Potential specificity of the two HCPTP variants for tyrosines on EphA2 has not been investigated. We have used a mass spectrometry assay to measure relative rates of dephosphorylation for the two HCPTP variants at phosphotyrosine sites associated with control of the EphA2 kinase activity or interaction with downstream targets. Our results suggest that although both variants dephosphorylate the EphA2 receptor, the rate and specificity of dephosphorylation for specific tyrosines are different for HCPTP-A and HCPTP-B. The SAM domain tyrosine Y960 which has been implicated in downstream PI3K signaling is dephosphorylated exclusively by HCPTP-B. The activation loop tyrosine (Y772) which directly controls kinase activity is dephosphorylated about six times faster by HCPTP-A. In contrast, the juxtamembrane tyrosines (Y575, Y588 and Y594) which are implicated in both control of kinase activity and downstream signaling are dephosphorylated by both variants with similar rates. This difference in preference for dephosphorylation sites on EphA2 not only illuminates the different roles of the two variants of the phosphatase in EphA2 signaling, but also explains why both HCPTP variants are highly conserved in most mammals. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
