In clonal sublines with different metastatic ability derived from Dunning rat prostate tumor, phosphoamino acid levels of cellular proteins were determined. Cell lines with high metastatic ability exhibited 5-fold higher phosphotyrosine level than did cell lines with low metastatic ability, while the contents of phosphoserine and phosphothreonine were similar among cell lines examined, All cell lines showed similar activities of protein tyrosine kinases as well as overall protein kinases. Phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase (PTPP) activities of the cells with high metastatic ability were very low, compared to those of the cells with low metastatic ability, suggesting that the different phosphotyrosine levels among the cell lines were due to the difference in PTPP activities rather than protein tyrosine kinase activities. Cellular activities of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAcP), which has been reported to possess phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase activity, were shown to be inversely related to the phosphotyrosine levels and metastatic abilities of the prostate tumor cells, These results suggest that cellular PAcP activity, regulating phosphotyrosine levels of cellular proteins, is closely connected with the metastatic process in prostate tumor cells and can be utilized as a good biochemical marker for the diagnosis of metastasis of prostate tumor.

A previous study on a yeast protein tyrosine phosphatase, YPTP1, using synthetic phosphotyrosine-containing peptides with various sequences as substrates revealed that DADEpYDA exhibits high affinity ($K_m=4{\mu}M$) toward the enzyme. A modified version of this peptide, GDADEpmFDA, immobilized on a resin, was used in this study as an affinity ligand for the purification of YPTP1. Phosphonomethyl-phenylalanine (pmF) was used as a nonhydrolyzable analog of the phosphotyrosine (pY) residue, with properties similar to pY. A protected form of pmF, $Fmoc-pmF(^{t}Bu)_{2}-OH$, was chemically synthesized and introduced during solid-phase peptide sythesis. YPTP1 was onrexpressed in an E. coli strain carrying a plasmid pT7-7-ptpl. Affinity chromatography of the crude lysate afforded PTPI (39 kDa) of about 50% purity.

Low molecular weight phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase (LMW-PTP) has been implicated in modulating the EphB1-mediated signaling pathway. In this study, we demonstrated that the EphA8 receptor phosphorylates LMW-PTP in vitro. In addition, we discovered that mixing these two proteins leads to EphA8 dephosphorylation in the absence of phosphatase inhibitors. Finally, we demonstrated that LMW-PTP, modified by the EphA8 autokinase activity, possesses enhanced catalytic activity in vitro. These results suggest that LMW-PTP may also participate in a feedback-control mechanism of the EphA8 receptor autokinase activity in vivo.

방선균에 존재하는 단백질 타이로신 포스파타아제의 기능을 알아보기 위하여 우선 이 유전자를 대장균에 클로닝하여 대량으로 발현시킨 결과, 발현된 단백질은 soluble형태로 존재하여 자신의 효소활성을 가지고 있었으나, 효소활성부위에 대한 변이주의 경우에는 기질과 결합은 하였으나 활성이 없는 것으로 나타났었다. 방선균에서 이 효소의 세포내 기작 및 결합 단백질을 파악하기 위해 대장균에 클로닝한 유전자를 방선균 발현벡터(pIJ6021)에 클로닝을 하였다. 이렇게 만든 유전자를 in-ducer인 thiostrepton을 이용하여 발현시킨 결과, 활성형의 단백질 타이로신 포스파타아제가 대량으로 생산되었다. 그리고 이들 유전자를 방선균에서 과잉 발현시킨 결과 항생제 생산 및 형태 변화 등의 표현형은 나타나지 않았다. 이효소와 반응하는 기질 및 결합 단백질을 찾기 위해서 이들과 결합은 하지만 반응하지 않는 돌연변이 단백질 타이로신 포스파타아제 (PtpA(C9S))를 유전자 조작하여 방선균에서 과잉 발현시켰다 그 결과 표현형은 없었지만 인산 타이로신 단백질의 패턴변화를 알 수 있었고, 단백질 타이로신 포스파타아제에 의하여 인산화 조절되는 단백질 3개 찾을 수 있었다. 이들 세 단백질(p65, p90 그리고 p200)은 ptpA(C9S)가 발현된 방선균에서 보다 더 많은 인산화 패턴을 나타내었으며, 이들은 가능한 단백질 타이로신 포스파타아제의 표적이라고 생각되었다. 만약 이들의 구조가 밝혀진다면, 방선균의 타이로신 포스파타아제의 기능 및 신호전달 과정의 역할을 파악할 수 있으리라 생각된다.

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) in rabbit plasma was found to block completely phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity without affecting the alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity. Our results provided that (1) PTPase activity and inhibitor are separated after G-25 gel-filtration. (2) This inhibitor is heat stable and trypsin-resistant and it can be removed by dialysis using 3 Kd cut-off tubing. (3) The elution pattern of the inhibitor is identical to that of Pi, and by performing a seperate run with inorganic phosphate. (4) The PTPase activity was recovered following an incubation with $CaCl_2$ (10 mM).

The substrate specificity of the purified rabbit plasma alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) was determined towards a extended range of potential substrates including relatively simple phosphate derivatives as p-NPP and indolyl phosphate, and several synthetic peptides and phosphoproteins. These results further estabilish the broad substrate specificity of these circulating enzymes. Interestingly, the plasma ALPase preferentially dephosphorylates Thr over Ser residues, as demonstrated with a series of synthetic peptides. The latter result is in contradiction to the behaviour of the tissue ALPase, which is thought to the ultimate source of plasma ALPase, and open therefore new perspectives with respective to the origin and "solubilisation" processes of these enzymes. Dephsphrylation of protein substrates by endogenous and isolated plasma ALPases indicates that ALPase probably displays protein phosphatase activity in vivo.

Plasma membrane blebs are observed in many types of apoptotic cells, but their processes of formation remain to be clarified. In the present study, we investigated whether there is a relationship between change of intracellular phosphotyrosine levels and biochemical apoptotic events in Jurkat T cells undergoing apoptosis by agonistic anti-Fas antibody. When Jurkat cells were treated with Fas-antibody in the presence or absence of pretreatment with sodium orthovanadate ($Na_3${VO}_4$), a phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) inhibitor, membrane blebs disappeared in orthovanadate-treated cells.

The Tk-ptp gene encoding a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakaraensis KODI was cloned and sequenced. Sequence analysis indicated that Tk-ptp encoded a protein consisting 147 amino acid residues (16,953 Da). The wild type and the mutants were expressed in Escherichia coli cells as His-tagged fusion proteins and examined for enzyme characteristics. Tk-PTP possessed two unique features that were not found in eucaryal and bacterial counterparts. First, the recombinant Tk-PTP showed the phosphatase activity not only for the phosphotyrosine but also phosphoserine. Second, the conserved Asp (Asp-63), which was considered to be a critical residue, was not involved in catalysis. In order to know a specific substrate for Tk-PTP, C93S mutant was used to trap substrate protein. Proteins of 120, 60 and 53 kDa were isolated specifically from KODI cell lysates by affinity chromatography with Tk-PTP-C93S. It is suggested that these proteins are tyrosine-phosphorylated substrates of Tk-PTP.

The Drosophila genome contains four low molecular weight-protein tyrosine phosphatase (LMW-PTP) members: Primo-1, Primo-2, CG14297, and CG31469. The lack of intensive biochemical analysis has limited our understanding of these proteins. Primo-1 and CG31469 were previously classified as pseudophosphatases, but CG31469 was also suggested to be a putative protein arginine phosphatase. Herein, we present the crystal structures of CG31469 and Primo-1, which are the first Drosophila LMW-PTP structures. Structural analysis showed that the two proteins adopt the typical LMW-PTP fold and have a canonically arranged P-loop. Intriguingly, while Primo-1 is presumed to be a canonical LMW-PTP, CG31469 is unique as it contains a threonine residue at the fifth position of the P-loop motif instead of highly conserved isoleucine and a characteristically narrow active site pocket, which should facilitate the accommodation of phosphoarginine. Subsequent biochemical analysis revealed that Primo-1 and CG31469 are enzymatically active on phosphotyrosine and phosphoarginine, respectively, refuting their classification as pseudophosphatases. Collectively, we provide structural and biochemical data on two Drosophila proteins: Primo-1, the canonical LMW-PTP protein, and CG31469, the first investigated eukaryotic protein arginine phosphatase. We named CG31469 as DARP, which stands for Drosophila ARginine Phosphatase.

백혈구 공통 항원인 돼지 CD45는 PTPRC 유전자에 암호화 되어 있으며, CD45엑손의 선택적 스플라이싱에 따라 다른 T-세포에서 발현되는 티로신 인산분해효소이다. CD45는 기질인 TCR의 $CD3{\zeta}$ 사슬, Lck, Fyn, Zap-70 kinase의 인산화된 티로신에서 인산을 분해하여 T-세포 항원 수용체(TCR) 매개 신호전달을 조절한다. CD45의 조절이상은 많은 면역 질환과 관련이 있어서, CD45는 면역약물 개발에 표적이 되어왔다. TCR 신호전달의 조절효과를 가진 주요 구조적 특징을 특성화하기 위해, 사람의 알려진 CD45 구조를 템플릿으로 적용하여 돼지 CD45RO(가장 작은 CD45 isoform)의 단백질 구조와 예측된 돼지 CD45RO 모델구조에 $CD3{\zeta}$ 사슬의 ITAM(REEpYDV)를 도킹하여 CD45RO/ITAM 펩타이드 결합구조를 예측하였다. 돼지 CD45RO의 구조적 특징은 세포외영역의 구조견고성과 세포질 내 티로신 인산분해효소 도메인의 KNRY와 PTP signature 기능모티프(두 기능 모티프는 ITAM 펩타이드 결합부위의 좁은 입구로 역할)에 있었다. 주요 구조특성은 돼지 CD45RO-ITAM 펩타이드 결합구조 안정성과 결합친화력을 조절하면서 기질 선택성에 영향을 준다. 돼지 CD45RO의 구조적 특성은 T-세포에 특이적인 면역 조절제를 탐색하는 데에 적용될 것이다.
