Evidence that calcineurin is rate-limiting for primary human lymphocyte activation.

J. Clin. Invest. 100 , 1894, (1997)

Cyclosporine (CsA) is both a clinical immunosuppressive drug and a probe to dissect intracellular signaling pathways. In vitro, CsA inhibits lymphocyte gene activation by inhibiting the phosphatase activity of calcineurin (CN). In clinical use, CsA treatment ...

Modulator binding protein. Bovine brain protein exhibiting the Ca2+-dependent association with the protein modulator of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.

J. Biol. Chem. 252 , 4175, (1977)

Purification of cyclic 3',5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibitory protein by affinity chromatography on activator protein coupled to Sepharose.

Biochemistry 17 , 120, (1978)

The Ca2+-dependent, reversible, interaction of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) phosphodiesterase with its activator has been used to purify the enzyme by affinity chromatography. Activator-dependent cAMP phosphodiesterase is only a minor component...

Calcineurin feedback inhibition of agonist-evoked cAMP formation.

J. Biol. Chem. 270 , 28055-28061, (1995)

The effects of immunosuppressant blockers of calcineurin (protein phosphatase 2B) on cAMP formation and hormone release were investigated in mouse pituitary tumor (AtT20) cells. Immunosuppressants enhanced corticotropin-releasing factor- and isoproterenol-evo...

Inhibition of protein phosphatase-2B (calcineurin) activity towards Alzheimer abnormally phosphorylated tau by neuroleptics.

Brain Res. 741 , 95, (1996)

Abnormally hyperphosphorylated tau is the major protein component of neurofibrillary tangles, the characteristic lesion of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Protein phosphatases (PP) type 1 (PP-1), type 2A (PP-2A) and type 2B (PP-2B) appear to be involved in the regu...

Calcineurin inhibition prevents calpain-mediated proteolysis of tau in differentiated PC12 cells.

J. Neurosci. Res. 53 , 153, (1998)

The effects of calcium influx on tau levels and phosphorylation were examined in differentiated PC12 cells. Maitotoxin-induced calcium influx resulted in time- and concentration-dependent tau dephosphorylation and degradation. Incubation of PC12 cells with a ...

Regulation of calcineurin activity in insulin-secreting cells: stimulation by Hsp90 during glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis.

Cell. Signal. 20 , 1780-6, (2008)

Previously, we described that apoptotic cell death induced by the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (dex) is inhibited by calcineurin inhibitors, FK506 and deltamethrin, in insulin-secreting cells. The aim of the present study was to examine the mechanis...
