HUMAN VH1-RELATED DUAL-SPECIFICITY PHOSPHATASE C124S MUTANT-PEPTIDE COMPLEX

Overview

Human VHR (vaccinia H1 related phosphatase) is a member of the, dual-specificity phosphatases (DSPs) that often act on bisphosphorylated, protein substrates. Unlike most DSPs, VHR displays a strong preference for, dephosphorylating phosphotyrosine residues over phosphothreonine residues., Here we describe the 2.75 A crystal structure of the C124S inactive VHR, mutant in complex with a bisphosphorylated peptide corresponding to the, MAP kinase activation lip. This structure and subsequent biochemical, studies revealed the basis for the strong preference for hydrolyzing, phosphotyrosine within bisphosphorylated substrates containing -pTXpY-. In, the structure, the two phospho residues are oriented into distinct, pockets; the phosphotyrosine is bound in the exposed yet deep active site, cleft while the phosphothreonine is loosely tethered into a nearby basic, pocket containing Arg(158). As this structure is the first, substrate-enzyme complex reported for the DSP family of enzymes, these, results provide the first glimpse into how DSPs bind their protein, substrates.
