Nitrate in the active site of PTP1b is a putative mimetic of the transition state
Structural highlights
FunctionPTN1_HUMAN Tyrosine-protein phosphatase which acts as a regulator of endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response. Mediates dephosphorylation of EIF2AK3/PERK; inactivating the protein kinase activity of EIF2AK3/PERK. May play an important role in CKII- and p60c-src-induced signal transduction cascades. May regulate the EFNA5-EPHA3 signaling pathway which modulates cell reorganization and cell-cell repulsion.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe X-ray crystal structure of the complex of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B with nitrate anion has been determined and modelled quantum-mechanically. Two protomers were present in the structure, one with the mechanistically important WPD loop closed and the other with this loop open. Nitrate was observed bound to each protomer, making close contacts with the S atom of the catalytic cysteine and a tyrosine residue from a crystallographically related protomer. Nitrate in the active site of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B is a putative mimetic of the transition state.,Kenny PW, Newman J, Peat TS Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. 2014 Feb;70(Pt 2):565-71. doi:, 10.1107/S1399004713031052.
