Protein phosphatase that acts preferentially ontyrosine-phosphorylated MAPK1 Plays a role in the regulation of Tand B-lymphocyte development and signal transduction
Catalytic Activity (UniProt annotation)
Protein tyrosine phosphate + H(2)O = proteintyrosine + phosphate
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade is a highly conserved module that is involved in various cellular functions, including cell proliferation, differentiation and migration. Mammals express at least four distinctly regulated groups of MAPKs, extracellular signal-related kinases (ERK)-1/2, Jun amino-terminal kinases (JNK1/2/3), p38 proteins (p38alpha/beta/gamma/delta) and ERK5, that are activated by specific MAPKKs: MEK1/2 for ERK1/2, MKK3/6 for the p38, MKK4/7 (JNKK1/2) for the JNKs, and MEK5 for ERK5. Each MAPKK, however, can be activated by more than one MAPKKK, increasing the complexity and diversity of MAPK signalling. Presumably each MAPKKK confers responsiveness to distinct stimuli. For example, activation of ERK1/2 by growth factors depends on the MAPKKK c-Raf, but other MAPKKKs may activate ERK1/2 in response to pro-inflammatory stimuli.
Interleukins (IL) are immunomodulatory proteins that elicit a wide array of responses in cells and tissues. Interleukin 37 (IL37), also known as IL 1F7, is a member of the IL 1 family (Sharma et al. 2008). Isoform b of IL37 (referred just as IL37) is synthesized as a precursor that requires processing (primarily by caspase 1) to attain full receptor agonist or antagonist function (Kumar et al. 2002). Both full length and processed IL37 can bind to the IL 18 binding protein (IL 18BP) and the Interleukin 18 receptor 1 (IL 18R1) (Shi et al. 2003). Upon binding to the IL18R1, IL37 recruits Single Ig IL 1 related receptor (SIGIRR) (Nold-Petry et al. 2015). The IL37:IL18R1 complex can activate phosphorylation of Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), Tyrosine protein kinase Mer and Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5 trisphosphate 3 phosphatase and dual specificity protein phosphatase PTEN and can also inhibit Nuclear factor NF kappa B p105 subunit (NFKB) (Nold-Petry et al. 2015). Processed IL37 can be secreted from the cytosol to the extracellular space or translocated into the nucleus (Bulau et al. 2014). Full length IL37 can also be secreted from the cytosol to the extracellular space (Bulau et al. 2014). Processed IL37 can bind with Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 (SMAD3) in the cytosol and then translocate to the nucleus, where it facilitates transcription of Tyrosine protein phosphatase non receptors (PTPNs) (Nold et al. 2010, Luo et al. 2017). These events ultimately lead to suppression of cytokine production in several types of immune cells resulting in reduced inflammation
