Crystal structure of the phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activator
Overview
Phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activator (PTPA), also known as PP2A, phosphatase activator, is a conserved protein from yeast to human. Here we, report the 1.9 A crystal structure of human PTPA, which reveals a, previously unreported fold consisting of three subdomains: core, lid, and, linker. Structural analysis uncovers a highly conserved surface patch, which borders the three subdomains, and an associated deep pocket located, between the core and the linker subdomains. The conserved surface patch, and the deep pocket are responsible for binding to PP2A and ATP, respectively. PTPA and PP2A A-C dimer together constitute a composite, ATPase. PTPA binding to PP2A results in a dramatic alteration of substrate, specificity, with enhanced phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity and, decreased phosphoserine phosphatase activity. This function of PTPA, strictly depends on the composite ATPase activity. These observations, reveal significant insights into the function and mechanism of PTPA and, have important ramifications for understanding PP2A function.
