dc.description.abstract | The major cellular targets of protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha (PTPa) are the Src family kinases (SFKs), including Src and Fyn. To investigate the roles and signaling interactions of PTPa and SFKs, genetically modified mice were generated with a combined ablation of PTPa and Src (PTPa-/-Src-/-). Double mutant mice were viable, lacked detectable unique developmental defects, but exhibited higher postnatal mortality than Src-null mice. PTPa and SFKs are components of the integrin signaling pathway. At a cellular level, fibroblasts from PTPa-/-Src-/- mouse embryos displayed particularly severe defects in integrin-stimulated cell processes. At the molecular level, a sustained Erk activation was detected in the PTPa-/-Src-/- cells, indicating a negative role for PTPa-Src in integrin signaling events. Additionally, PTPa underwent integrin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation that was mediated by Src and other SFKs. This was found to be required for a novel second role of PTPa in cell processes leading to migration. | |
