  • three proline-rich, potential SH3-binding motifs, SH3 domain- containing CRKL adaptor protein associating with PTPN6
  • a tyrosine-phosphatase catalytic domain in C terminal region
  • C terminal nuclear localization signal (short cluster of basic AA : KRK), and six-AAs, lipid raft-targeting motif, necessary and sufficient for lipid raft localization and for the function as a negative regulator of TCR signaling
  • conjugated PhosphoP

    text
  • lipid raft localization
  • elevation of NaCl significantly decreases the fraction of PTPN6 that is in the nucleus and lowering NaCl does the opposite
  • basic FUNCTION
  • negative regulator of cell signaling in T cells
  • limiting antiapoptotic signal
  • playing a key role in hematopoiesis
  • may directly link growth factor receptors and other signaling proteins through protein-tyrosine phosphorylation via its PTPase activity
  • downregulating IL-3 inducing tyrosine phosphorylation and mitogenesis
  • involved in the regulation of glucose homeostasis through modulation of insulin signaling in liver and muscle as well as hepatic insulin clearance
  • playing a role with PTPRK in the regulation, maintenance, and restitution of cell adhesions in a complex epithelial organ such as the pancreas
  • key negative regulator of TCR-mediated signaling
  • negatively regulated Toll-like receptor-mediated production of proinflammatory cytokines by inhibiting activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinase
  • contributes to immune homeostasis by balancing the production of proinflammatory cytokines and type I interferons in the innate immune response
  • involved in the inhibition of CD2 signaling (represents a novel mechanism for direct T cell suppression by IL10)
  • playing an important role in airway mucin production through regulating oxidative stress
  • regulates cell growth, inflammation, and injury largely through negative signaling, as by inhibition of STATs, NF-KB, ERK, and the PI3 kinase-Akt pathway
  • regulates cell proliferation, whether it is by controlling mitogenic pathways activated by receptors with tyrosine kinase activity, or by regulating components of the cell-cycle machinery
  • intrinsic global regulator of dendritic cell function, controlling many facets of T cell-mediated immune responses
  • novel role for PTPN6 in the regulation of AKT1 activity through the modulation of the ghrelin/GHSR1a system signaling
  • regulates muscle insulin action in a cell-autonomous manner, further suggesting that the PTPase negatively modulates insulin action through down-regulation of both insulin signaling to AKT1 and SLC2A4 translocation, as well as SLC2A4 expression
  • negative regulator of proinflammatory signaling and autoimmune disease
  • key regulator of dendritic cell functions that protects against autoimmunity
  • role in the regulation of signaling or membrane fusion events involved in phagolysosome biogenesis
  • possible involvement of the PTPN6 phosphatase in regulating other NK functions in mature NK cells
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, proliferation/growth

    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    a component
  • forms a complex with receptor activator of NF-kB (TNFRSF11A), LYN and the adapter protein, Grb2-associated binder 2 (GAB2)
  • PLCB3 form the multimolecular SPS complex together with PTPN6 and STAT5
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • CSF2RB
  • activated KIT
  • LAIR1
  • death receptor of TNF (block antiapoptotic signaling in neutrophils)
  • TFG is a novel protein able to modulate PTPN6 activity
  • directly binding to and inhibiting activation of the kinase IRAK1, increasing the production of type I interferon mediated by Toll-like receptors and the helicase DDX58
  • STAT3
  • DNMT1
  • HDAC1
  • physically interact with PTPN6, and age-specific interactions between SIGLEC9 and PTPN6 may influence the altered inflammatory responsiveness and longevity of neonatal polymorphonuclear neutrophils
  • interacting with NFAT5 (Overexpression of PTPN6 greatly decreases high NaCl-induced nuclear localization of native NFAT5)
  • LYN/PLCB3-mediated regulatory mechanism of PTPN6 and STAT5B activities
  • in liver, transcriptional activation of PTPN6 gene by PKNOX1 attenuates insulin signal transduction and reduces glucose storage
  • negatively regulates the nuclear transcriptional function of CTNNB1
  • SIGLEC12 binds to the tyrosine phosphatases PTPN6 and PTPN11 in a phosphorylation-dependent manner
  • inducibly interacts with the SH2 domain of SH3BP2 after the aggregation of FCER1A
  • CRKL adaptor protein associating with PTPN6
  • is an essential negative regulator of IL4 signaling in T lymphocytes
  • inhibitory action of RAP1B on PI3K signaling may be mediated by activation of phosphatase PTPN6
  • ERK-1/2 inhibition or MAPK14 overexpression inhibited CD40-induced PTPN6 activation
