Changes in lifestyle in developed countries have triggered the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the latest years. Consequently, these metabolic diseases associated to insulin resistance, and the morbidity associated with them, accounts for enormous costs for the health systems. The best way to face this problem is to identify potential therapeutic targets and/or early biomarkers to help in the treatment and in the early detection. In the insulin receptor signaling cascade, the activities of protein tyrosine kinases and phosphatases are coordinated, thus, protein tyrosine kinases amplify the insulin signaling response, whereas phosphatases are required for the regulation of the rate and duration of that response. The focus of this review is to summarize the impact of transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase (RPTPs) in the insulin signaling cascade and secretion, and their implication in metabolic diseases such as obesity and T2DM.

A cornerstone of many cell-signalling events rests on reversible phosphorylation of tyrosine residues on proteins. The reversibility relies on the coordinated actions of protein tyrosine kinases and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), both of which exist as large protein families. This review focuses on the rapidly evolving field of the PTPs. We now know that rather than simply scavenging phosphotyrosine, the PTPs specifically regulate a wide range of signalling pathways. To illustrate this and to highlight current areas of agreement and contention in the field, this review will present our understanding of PTP action in selected areas and will present current knowledge surrounding the regulatory mechanisms that control PTP enzymes themselves. It will be seen that PTPs control diverse processes such as focal adhesion dynamics, cell–cell adhesion and insulin signalling, and their own actions are in turn regulated by dimerisation, phosphorylation and reversible oxidation.

The cross-linking by antibody of some glycosyl-phosphatidyl-inositol (GPI)-anchored proteins on the plasma membrane of T cells leads to cell activation. Phosphorylation of proteins on tyrosine residues has a central role in the control of T cell activation, and non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases can be coprecipitated with immune complexes of GPI-anchored proteins in T cell lysates. In order to investigate the nature of this interaction, two recombinant GPI-anchored proteins were constructed (using the GPI signal sequence from Thy-1), and their associations with protein tyrosine kinases in stable transfectants of a mouse thymoma have been investigated. One recombinant GPI protein is the extracellular domain of the human complement receptor-1, normally an integral membrane protein, and the other is the secreted protein, human tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases. The latter protein should be foreign to the cell surface and yet has been expressed as a GPI-anchored protein at levels equivalent to the highly expressed antigens Thy-1 and Ly6.A2 on mouse thymoma cells. Neither of the two recombinant proteins, when immunoprecipitated from NP40 lysates of transfected cells, was associated with protein tyrosine kinases in contrast with the natural endogenous GPI-anchored proteins Thy-1 and Ly6.A2 in non-transfected parental cells. Moreover, high expression of foreign recombinant GPI protein appears to interfere with the association of the natural GPI proteins with protein tyrosine kinases.
