Crystal Structure of the Tyrosine Phosphatase SHP-2
The structure of the SHP-2 tyrosine phosphatase, determined at 2.0 angstroms resolution, shows how its catalytic activity is regulated by its two SH2 domains. In the absence of a tyrosine-phosphorylated binding partner, the N-terminal SH2 domain binds the phosphatase domain and directly blocks its active site. This interaction alters the structure of the N-SH2 domain, disrupting its phosphopept...
متن کاملTripeptide inhibitors of Yersinia protein-tyrosine phosphatase.
The protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) 'YopH' is a virulence factor of Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague. Potential use of Yersinia as a bioterrorism agent renders YopH inhibitors of therapeutic importance. Previously, we had examined the inhibitory potencies of a variety of phosphotyrosyl (pTyr) mimetics against the human PTP1B enzyme by displaying them in the EGFR-derived hexapep...
متن کاملSynthesis of tripeptides as potent Yersinia protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors.
We report the synthesis of a series of monoanionic phosphotyrosyl (pTyr) mimetic-containing tripeptides based on 'Fmoc-Glu(OBn)-Xxx-Leu-amide' (where Xxx = pTyr mimetic) and their N-terminally modified derivatives. The inhibitory potencies of compounds were tested against YopH and human PTP1B enzymes. Several compounds exhibited noteworthy activity against both YopH and PTP1B. Among the N-termi...
متن کاملCharacterization of New Substrates Targeted By Yersinia Tyrosine Phosphatase YopH
YopH is an exceptionally active tyrosine phosphatase that is essential for virulence of Yersinia pestis, the bacterium causing plague. YopH breaks down signal transduction mechanisms in immune cells and inhibits the immune response. Only a few substrates for YopH have been characterized so far, for instance p130Cas and Fyb, but in view of YopH potency and the great number of proteins involved i...
متن کاملSecondary structure prediction from multiple sequence data: blood clotting factor XIII and Yersinia protein-tyrosine phosphatase.
Predictions of protein structure are best tested without prior knowledge of the protein three-dimensional structure. Three-dimensional atomic models will soon be determined by X-ray crystallography for the alpha-subunit of human blood clotting factor XIII and members of the family of protein tyrosine specific phosphatases. Accordingly, we here present secondary structure predictions for each of...
