N-terminal domain conserved in slingshot (SSH) phosphatases; This domain or region conserved in Bilateria is found N-terminal to the DEK_C-like and catalytic domains of slingshot phosphatases. Slingshot is a cofilin-specific phosphatase. Dephosphorylation reactivates cofilin, which in turn depolymerizes actin and is thus required for actin filament reorganization. Slingshot is a member of the dual-specificity protein phosphatase family. This N-terminal SSH region may be involved in P-cofilin binding (the model C-terminus plus the DEK_C-like domain, which are characterized as the "B" domain in some of the literature), and may be required for the F-actin mediated activation of slingshot (the N-terminal region of this model, sometimes referred to as the "A" domain).

DEK C terminal domain; DEK is a chromatin associated protein that is linked with cancers and autoimmune disease. This domain is found at the C terminal of DEK and is of clinical importance since it can reverse the characteriztic abnormal DNA-mutagen sensitivity in fibroblasts from ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) patients. The structure of this domain shows it to be homologous to the E2F/DP transcription factor family. This domain is also found in chitin synthase proteins like Swiss:Q8TF96, and in protein phosphatases such as Swiss:Q6NN85.

dual specificity phosphatase domain of slingshot family phosphatases; The slingshot (SSH) family of dual specificity protein phosphatases is composed of Drosophila slingshot phosphatase and its vertebrate homologs: SSH1, SSH2 and SSH3. Its members specifically dephosphorylate and reactivate Ser-3-phosphorylated cofilin (P-cofilin), an actin-binding protein that plays an essential role in actin filament dynamics. In Drosophila, loss of ssh gene function causes prominent elevation in the levels of P-cofilin and filamentous actin and disorganized epidermal cell morphogenesis, including bifurcation phenotypes of bristles and wing hairs. SSH family phosphatases contain an N-terminal, SSH family-specific non-catalytic (SSH-N) domain, followed by a short domain with similarity to the C-terminal domain of the chromatin-associated protein DEK, and a dual specificity phosphatase catalytic domain. In addition, many members contain a C-terminal tail. The SSH-N domain plays critical roles in P-cofilin recognition, F-actin-mediated activation, and subcellular localization of SSHs.

dual specificity phosphatase domain of slingshot homolog 3; Dual specificity protein phosphatase slingshot homolog 3 (SSH3), also called SSH-like protein 3, is part of the slingshot (SSH) family, whose members specifically dephosphorylate and reactivate Ser-3-phosphorylated cofilin (P-cofilin), an actin-binding protein that plays an essential role in actin filament dynamics. The Xenopus homolog (xSSH) is involved in the gastrulation movement. Mouse SSH3 dephosphorylates actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) and cofilin but is dispensable for development. There are at least two human SSH3 isoforms reported: hSSH-3L (long) and hSSH-3. As SSH family phosphatases, they contain an N-terminal, SSH family-specific non-catalytic (SSH-N) domain, followed by a short domain with similarity to the C-terminal domain of the chromatin-associated protein DEK, and a dual specificity phosphatase catalytic domain. In addition, hSSH-3L contains a C-terminal tail while hSSH-3 does not.

dual-specificity phosphatase domain; The dual-specificity phosphatase domain is found in typical and atypical dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs), which function as protein-serine/threonine phosphatases (EC 3.1.3.16) and protein-tyrosine-phosphatases (EC 3.1.3.48). Typical DUSPs, also called mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatases (MKPs), deactivate MAPKs by dephosphorylating the threonine and tyrosine residues in the conserved Thr-Xaa-Tyr motif residing in their activation sites. All MKPs contain an N-terminal Cdc25/rhodanese-like domain, which is responsible for MAPK-binding, and a C-terminal catalytic dual specificity phosphatase domain. Atypical DUSPs contain the catalytic dual specificity phosphatase domain but lack the N-terminal Cdc25/rhodanese-like domain that is present in typical DUSPs or MKPs. Also included in this family are dual specificity phosphatase-like domains of catalytically inactive members such as serine/threonine/tyrosine-interacting protein (STYX) and serine/threonine/tyrosine interacting like 1 (STYXL1), as well as active phosphatases with substrates that are not phosphoproteins such as PTP localized to the mitochondrion 1 (PTPMT1), which is a lipid phosphatase, and laforin, which is a glycogen phosphatase.

dual specificity phosphatase domain of class I mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase; Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatases (MKPs) are eukaryotic dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) that act on MAPKs and function as a protein-serine/threonine phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16) and a protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.48). They deactivate MAPKs by dephosphorylating the threonine and tyrosine residues in the conserved Thr-Xaa-Tyr motif residing in their activation sites. Based on sequence homology, subcellular localization and substrate specificity, 10 MKPs can be subdivided into three subfamilies (class I-III). Class I MKPs consist of DUSP1/MKP-1, DUSP2 (PAC1), DUSP4/MKP-2 and DUSP5. They are all mitogen- and stress-inducible nuclear MKPs. All MKPs contain an N-terminal Cdc25/rhodanese-like domain, which is responsible for MAPK-binding, and a C-terminal catalytic dual specificity phosphatase domain.

dual specificity protein phosphatases 14, 18, 21, 28 and similar proteins; This family is composed of dual specificity protein phosphatase 14 (DUSP14, also known as MKP-6), 18 (DUSP18), 21 (DUSP21), 28 (DUSP28), and similar proteins. They function as protein-serine/threonine phosphatases (EC 3.1.3.16) and protein-tyrosine-phosphatases (EC 3.1.3.48), and are atypical DUSPs. They contain the catalytic dual specificity phosphatase domain but lack the N-terminal Cdc25/rhodanese-like domain that is present in typical DUSPs or MKPs. DUSP14 directly interacts and dephosphorylates TGF-beta-activated kinase 1 (TAK1)-binding protein 1 (TAB1) in T cells, and negatively regulates TCR signaling and immune responses. DUSP18 has been shown to interact and dephosphorylate SAPK/JNK, and may play a role in regulating the SAPK/JNK pathway. DUSP18 and DUSP21 target to opposing sides of the mitochondrial inner membrane. DUSP28 has been implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma progression and in migratory activity and drug resistance of pancreatic cancer cells.

dual specificity phosphatase domain of dual specificity protein phosphatase 2; Dual specificity protein phosphatase 2 (DUSP2), also called dual specificity protein phosphatase PAC-1, functions as a protein-serine/threonine phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16) and a protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.48). Like other mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatases (MKPs), it deactivates its MAPK substrates by dephosphorylating the threonine and tyrosine residues in the conserved Thr-Xaa-Tyr motif residing in their activation sites. It belongs to the class I subfamily and is a mitogen- and stress-inducible nuclear MKP. DUSP2 can preferentially dephosphorylate ERK1/2 and p38, but not JNK in vitro. It is predominantly expressed in hematopoietic tissues with high T-cell content, such as thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, peripheral blood and other organs such as the brain and liver. It has a critical and positive role in inflammatory responses. DUSP2 mRNA and protein are significantly reduced in most solid cancers including breast, colon, lung, ovary, kidney and prostate, and the suppression of DUSP2 is associated with tumorigenesis and malignancy. DUSP2 contains an N-terminal Cdc25/rhodanese-like domain, which is responsible for MAPK-binding, and a C-terminal catalytic dual specificity phosphatase domain.

dual specificity phosphatase domain of dual specificity protein phosphatase 9; Dual specificity protein phosphatase 9 (DUSP9), also called mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase 4 (MKP-4), functions as a protein-serine/threonine phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16) and a protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.48). Like other MKPs, it deactivates its MAPK substrates by dephosphorylating the threonine and tyrosine residues in the conserved Thr-Xaa-Tyr motif residing in their activation sites. It belongs to the class II subfamily and is an ERK-selective cytoplasmic MKP. DUSP9 is a mediator of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling to control the appropriate ERK activity critical for the determination of embryonic stem cell fate. Down-regulation of DUSP9 expression has been linked to severe pre-eclamptic placenta as well as cancers such as hepatocellular carcinoma. DUSP9 contains an N-terminal Cdc25/rhodanese-like domain, which is responsible for MAPK-binding, and a C-terminal catalytic dual specificity phosphatase domain.

dual specificity phosphatase domain of dual specificity protein phosphatase 12 and similar proteins; Dual specificity protein phosphatase 12 (DUSP12), also called YVH1, functions as a protein-serine/threonine phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16) and a protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.48). It deactivates its MAPK substrates by dephosphorylating the threonine and tyrosine residues in the conserved Thr-Xaa-Tyr motif residing in their activation sites. DUSP12 is an atypical DUSP; it contains the catalytic dual specificity phosphatase domain but lacks the N-terminal Cdc25/rhodanese-like domain that is present in typical DUSPs or MKPs. It targets p38 MAPK to regulate macrophage response to bacterial infection. It also ameliorates cardiac hypertrophy in response to pressure overload through c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibition. DUSP12 has been identified as a modulator of cell cycle progression, a function independent of phosphatase activity and mediated by its C-terminal zinc-binding domain.

dual specificity phosphatase domain of plant IBR5-like protein phosphatases; This subfamily is composed of Arabidopsis thaliana INDOLE-3-BUTYRIC ACID (IBA) RESPONSE 5 (IBR5) and similar plant proteins. IBR5 protein is also called SKP1-interacting partner 33. The IBR5 gene encodes a dual-specificity phosphatase (DUSP) which acts as a positive regulator of plant responses to auxin and abscisic acid. DUSPs function as protein-serine/threonine phosphatases (EC 3.1.3.16) and protein-tyrosine-phosphatases (EC 3.1.3.48). Typical DUSPs, also called mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatases (MKPs), deactivate MAPKs by dephosphorylating the threonine and tyrosine residues in the conserved Thr-Xaa-Tyr motif residing in their activation sites. IBR5 is an atypical DUSP; it contains the catalytic dual specificity phosphatase domain but lacks the N-terminal Cdc25/rhodanese-like domain that is present in typical DUSPs. It has been shown to target MPK12, which is a negative regulator of auxin signaling.

dual specificity phosphatase domain of dual specificity protein phosphatase 7; Dual specificity protein phosphatase 7 (DUSP7), also called mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase X (MKP-X) or dual specificity protein phosphatase PYST2, functions as a protein-serine/threonine phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16) and a protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.48). Like other MKPs, it deactivates its MAPK substrates by dephosphorylating the threonine and tyrosine residues in the conserved Thr-Xaa-Tyr motif residing in their activation sites. It belongs to the class II subfamily and is an ERK-selective cytoplasmic MKP. DUSP7 has been shown as an essential regulator of multiple steps in oocyte meiosis. Due to alternative promoter usage, the PYST2 gene gives rise to two isoforms, PYST2-S and PYST2-L. PYST2-L is over-expressed in leukocytes derived from AML and ALL patients as well as in some solid tumors and lymphoblastoid cell lines; it plays a role in cell-crowding. It contains an N-terminal Cdc25/rhodanese-like domain, which is responsible for MAPK-binding, and a C-terminal catalytic dual specificity phosphatase domain.

It is an atypical DUSP that contains the catalytic dual specificity phosphatase domain but lacks the N-terminal Cdc25/rhodanese-like domain that is present in typical DUSPs or MKPs. It has been implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma progression and in migratory activity and drug resistance of pancreatic cancer cells. DUSP28 has an exceptionally low phosphatase activity due to the presence of bulky residues in the active site pocket resulting in low accessibility.

dual specificity protein phosphatase 3; Dual specificity protein phosphatase 3 (DUSP3), also called vaccinia H1-related phosphatase (VHR), functions as a protein-serine/threonine phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16) and a protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.48). It deactivates its MAPK substrates by dephosphorylating the threonine and tyrosine residues in the conserved Thr-Xaa-Tyr motif residing in their activation sites. DUSP3 is an atypical DUSP; it contains the catalytic dual specificity phosphatase domain but lacks the N-terminal Cdc25/rhodanese-like domain that is present in typical DUSPs or MKPs. It favors bisphosphorylated substrates over monophosphorylated ones, and prefers pTyr peptides over pSer/pThr peptides. Reported physiological substrates includes MAPKs ERK1/2, JNK, and p38, as well as STAT5, EGFR, and ErbB2. DUSP3 has been linked to breast and prostate cancer, and may also play a role in thrombosis.

dual specificity protein phosphatase 26; Dual specificity protein phosphatase 26 (DUSP26), also called mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase 8 (MKP-8) or low-molecular-mass dual-specificity phosphatase 4 (LDP-4), functions as a protein-serine/threonine phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16) and a protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.48). It deactivates its MAPK substrates by dephosphorylating the threonine and tyrosine residues in the conserved Thr-Xaa-Tyr motif residing in their activation sites. DUSP26 is an atypical DUSP; it contains the catalytic dual specificity phosphatase domain but lacks the N-terminal Cdc25/rhodanese-like domain that is present in typical DUSPs or MKPs. It is a brain phosphatase highly overexpressed in neuroblastoma and has also been identified as a p53 phosphatase, dephosphorylating phospho-Ser20 and phospho-Ser37 in the p53 transactivation domain.
