Overview

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) plays a key role as a negative, regulator of insulin and leptin signalling and is therefore considered to, be an important molecular target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and, obesity. Detailed structural information about the structure of PTP1B, including the conformation and flexibility of active-site residues as well, as the water-molecule network, is a key issue in understanding ligand, binding and enzyme kinetics and in structure-based drug design. A 1.95 A, apo PTP1B structure has been obtained, showing four highly coordinated, water molecules in the active-site pocket of the enzyme; hence, the active, site is highly solvated in the apo state. Three of the water molecules are, located at positions that approximately correspond to the positions of the, phosphate O atoms of the natural substrate phosphotyrosine and form a, similar network of hydrogen bonds. The active-site WPD-loop was found to, be in the closed conformation, in contrast to previous observations of, wild-type PTPs in the apo state, in which the WPD-loop is open. The closed, conformation is stabilized by a network of hydrogen bonds. These results, provide new insights into and understanding of the active site of PTP1B, and form a novel basis for structure-based inhibitor design.
