protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 from Arabidopsis thaliana and similar plant PTPs
Arabidopsis thaliana protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 (AtPTP1) belongs to the family of classical tyrosine-specific protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). PTPs (EC 3.1.3.48) catalyze the dephosphorylation of phosphotyrosine peptides. AtPTP1 dephosphorylates and inhibits MAP kinase 6 (MPK6) in non-oxidative stress conditions. Together with MAP kinase phosphatase 1 (MKP1) it expresses salicylic acid (SA) and camalexin biosynthesis, and therefore, modulating defense response.
Feature 1: catalytic site [active site], 2 residue positions
Conserved feature residue pattern:C R
Evidence:
Comment:the catalytic cysteine initiates a nucleophilic attack on the phosphate group of the substrate, forming a transient phosphoenzyme intermediate and releasing the substrate dephosphorylated; the transition state is stabilized by the arginine present in the catalytic pocket
