Journey to the Center of the Mitochondria Guided by the Tail Anchor of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B
2013-11-22
Abstract excerpt
The canonical protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B has traditionally been considered to exclusively reside on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Using confocal microscopy, we show that endogenous PTP1B actually exhibits a higher local concentration at the mitochondria in all mammalian cell lines that we tested. Fluorescently labeled chimeras containing full-length PTP1B or only its 35 amino acid tail anchor localized i...
