Abstract:
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease associated with multiple phenotypic and functional aberrations in T lymphocytes. Among these, altered expression and/or activity of several protein kinases and phosphatases has been consistently documented in T cells obtained from patients with SLE. In this review, we describe and contextualize some of the kinase and phosphatase defects reported in T cells from patients with SLE, highlighting their relevance and possible consequences. Additionally, we discuss the origin of the defects and its significance for disease development and expression.

Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
