1 Here, we show that in red cells Fyn specifically stimulates G6PD activity, resulting in a 3-fold increase enzyme catalytic activity (kcat) by phosphorylating tyrosine (Tyr)-401. Tyrosine FYN proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase Homo sapiens
2 Here, we show that in red cells Fyn specifically stimulates G6PD activity, resulting in a 3-fold increase enzyme catalytic activity (kcat) by phosphorylating tyrosine (Tyr)-401. Tyrosine FYN proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase Homo sapiens
3 We found Tyr-401 on G6PD as functional target of Fyn in normal human red blood cells (RBC), being undetectable in G6PD deficient RBCs (G6PD-Mediterranean and G6PD-Genova). Tyrosine FYN proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase Homo sapiens
4 In conclusion, our data suggest that Fyn is an oxidative radical sensor, and that Fyn-mediated Tyr-401 phosphorylation, by increasing G6PD activity, plays an important role in the physiology of RBCs. Tyrosine FYN proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase Homo sapiens
