Background

Protein phosphorylation is crucial component of cellular signal transduction. In the vast majority of cases, it is a reversible post-translational modification (PTM). Changes in the phosphatase state of a protein can be the result of a change in the activity of either the relevant kinase(s) or phosphatase(s). Phosphatases play highly regulated and very active roles in many cellular processes. They are very important in setting the levels of protein phosphorylation. Phosphatases have been shown to play a key role in health and disease and are therefore potential drug targets. The study of phosphatases is an important but challenging task.

Phosphatase biology has thrived in the last few years. To date, several activity assays have been developed based on the biological function of phosphatases. Conventional methods have provided crucial insights into the substrates and mechanisms of phosphatases as well as their exclusive functions in highly complex networks. Today, advances in cellular imaging, chemical biology, and other technological approaches have provided new insights into cell signaling studies and the development of therapeutics. However, the continuous development of assay formats has led to higher demand for precision and sensitivity. New idealized detection strategies also need continue to be developed to meet practical demands.
