T Cell Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase Structure
Contents |
Overview
Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) has recently received much, attention as a potential drug target in type 2 diabetes. This has in, particular been spurred by the finding that PTP1B knockout mice show, increased insulin sensitivity and resistance to diet-induced obesity., Surprisingly, the highly homologous T cell protein-tyrosine phosphatase, (TC-PTP) has received much less attention, and no x-ray structure has been, provided. We have previously co-crystallized PTP1B with a number of low, molecular weight inhibitors that inhibit TC-PTP with similar efficiency., Unexpectedly, we were not able to co-crystallize TC-PTP with the same set, of inhibitors. This seems to be due to a multimerization process where, residues 130-132, the DDQ loop, from one molecule is inserted into the, active site of the neighboring molecule, resulting in a continuous string, of interacting TC-PTP molecules. Importantly, despite the high degree of, functional and structural similarity between TC-PTP and PTP1B, we have, been able to identify areas close to the active site that might be, addressed to develop selective inhibitors of each enzyme.
