The dephosphorylation characteristics of the receptors for epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor in Swiss 3T3 cell membranes suggest differential regulation of receptor signalling by endogenous protein-tyrosine phosphatases.

abstract：:Wild-type trypanosomal triosephosphate isomerase (wtTIM) is a very tight dimer. The interface residue His-47 of wtTIM has been mutated into an asparagine. Ultracentrifugation data show that this variant (H47N) only dimerises at protein concentrations above 3 mg/ml. H47N has been characterised at a protein concentratio...
