Abstract
CD45 is a leukocyte-specific, two domain transmembrane tyrosine phosphatase. Co-purification of a recombinant protein containing the first phosphatase domain of CD45 (6His-D1) with a recombinant protein containing the second phosphatase domain (GST-D2) from E. coli indicated a stable interaction which resulted in increased stability of the active phosphatase domain present in 6His-D1. This interaction was not dependent on the acidic region unique to CD45 domain 2, but was affected by a destabilizing point mutation (Q1180G) in GST-D2. CD45 domain 2 enhanced phosphatase activity of the first domain in the full length cytoplasmic domain protein, whereas a chimeric protein with the SH2 domain of p56(lck) in place of the CD45 C-terminal region did not. Thus the C-terminal domain of CD45 associates with the N-terminal domain and this stabilizes the active phosphatase domain. A single destabilizing point mutation in the second domain is sufficient to attenuate this effect.

Abstract
Three dual-specific phosphatases [DSPs], IphP, VHR, and Cdc14, and three protein-tyrosine phosphatases [PTPs], PTP-1B, PTP-H1, and Tc-PTPa, were challenged with a set of low molecular weight phosphoesters to probe the factors underlying the distinct substrate specificities displayed by these two mechanistically homologous families of protein phosphatases. It was observed that beta-naphthyl phosphate represented an excellent general substrate for both PTPs and DSPs. While DSPs tended to hydrolyze alpha-naphthyl phosphate at rates comparable to that of the beta-isomer, the PTPs PTP-1B and Tc-PTPa did not. PTP-H1, however, displayed high alpha-naphthyl phosphatase activity. Intriguingly, PTP-H1 also displayed much higher protein-serine phosphatase activity in vitro, 0.2-0.3% that toward equivalent tyrosine phosphorylated proteins, than did PTP-1B or Tc-PTPa. The latter two PTPs discriminated between the serine- and tyrosine-phosphorylated forms of two test proteins by factors of >/=10(4)-10(6). While free phosphoserine represented an extremely poor substrate for all of the DSPs examined, the addition of a hydrophobic "handle" to form N-(cyclohexanecarboxyl)-O-phospho-l-serine produced a compound that was hydrolyzed by IphP with high efficiency, i.e., at a rate comparable to that of free phosphotyrosine or p-nitrophenyl phosphate. VHR also hydrolyzed N-(cyclohexanecarboxyl)-O-phospho-l-serine (1 mM) at a rate approximately one-tenth that of beta-naphthyl phosphate. None of the PTPs tested exhibited significant activity against this compound. However, N-(cyclohexanecarboxyl)-O-phospho-l-serine did not prove to be a universal substrate for DSPs as Cdc14 displayed little propensity to hydrolyze it.

Abstract
Dual-specificity protein phosphatases (DSPs) dephosphorylate proteins at Ser/Thr and Tyr. FYVE domain is a double zinc finger motif which specifically binds phosphatidylinositol(3)-phosphate. Here, we report a novel dual specificity phosphatase that contains a FYVE domain at the C-terminus. We designate the protein FYVE-DSP1. Molecular cloning yielded three isoforms of the enzyme presumably derived from alternate RNA splicing. Sequence alignment revealed that the catalytic phosphatase domain of FYVE-DSP1 closely resembled that of myotubularin, while its FYVE domain has all the conserved amino acid residues found in other proteins of the same family. Recombinant FYVE-DSP1 is partitioned in both cytosolic and membrane fractions. It dephosphorylates proteins phosphorylated on Ser, Thr, and Tyr residues and low molecular weight phosphatase substrate para-nitrophenylphosphate. It shows typical characteristics of other DSPs and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). These include inhibition by sodium vanadate and pervanadate, pH dependency, and inactivation by mutation of the key cysteinyl residue at the phosphatase signature motif. Finally, PCR analyses demonstrated that FYVE-DSP1 is widely distributed in human tissues but different spliced forms expressed differently.

Abstract
Many pharmacologically important receptors, including all cytokine receptors, signal via tyrosine (auto)phosphorylation, followed by resetting to their original state through the action of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Establishing the specificity of PTPs for receptor substrates is critical both for understanding how signaling is regulated and for the development of specific PTP inhibitors that act as ligand mimetics. We have set up a systematic approach for finding PTPs that are specific for a receptor and have validated this approach with the insulin receptor kinase. We have tested nearly all known human PTPs (45) in a membrane binding assay, using "substrate-trapping" PTP mutants. These results, combined with secondary dephosphorylation tests, confirm and extend earlier findings that PTP-1b and T-cell PTP are physiological enzymes for the insulin receptor kinase. We demonstrate that this approach can rapidly reduce the number of PTPs that have a particular receptor or other phosphoprotein as their substrate.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) play important roles in modulating signals transduced by tyrosine kinases. Certain phosphatases have been implicated as having important roles in embryonic development as well as in adult physiology. Although both kinases and phosphatases are equally important in regulating signal transduction, phosphatases as a group have not been well characterized. Thus, characterization of sequence, expression, and biological function for additional phosphatases is informative. PTPBr7/PC12 and PTPSl are mouse receptor PTPs sharing similar amino acid sequences. Northern blot analysis demonstrated expression of these genes in adult rodent brain and revealed previously uncharacterized transcripts in the brain and other tissues. Our results demonstrate that PTPBr7/PC12 and PTPSl are members of a larger family of PTPs. We have identified two novel family members as well as several novel transcriptional splice variants from both human and mouse colon cDNA libraries. Expression analysis demonstrated that the various mRNA transcripts are differentially expressed, with the highest levels found in the brain, intestinal tract, uterus, and placenta. In situ hybridization analysis of mouse brain and intestinal tissues established that each isoform has a unique expression pattern in specific cell populations as well as in tissue regions. Furthermore, these restricted patterns suggest that the encoded family of phosphatases may play roles in modulating signal transduction pathways important for specific cell types and biological processes.

Abstract
HePTP is a tyrosine specific protein phosphatase that is strongly expressed in activated T-cells. It was recently demonstrated that in transfected T-cells HePTP impairs TCR-mediated activation of the MAP-kinase family members ERK2 and p38 and it was suggested that both ERK and p38 MAP-kinases are substrates of HePTP. The HePTP gene has been mapped to human chromosome 1q32.1. Abnormalities in this region are frequently found in various hematopoietic malignancies. HePTP is highly expressed in acute myeloid leukemia and its expression in fibroblasts resulted in transformation. To address a possible involvement of HePTP in hematopoietic malignancies we sought to identify HePTP substrate(s) in leukemic cells. Using substrate trapping mutants we have identified the MAP-kinase ERK2 as a specific target of HePTP in the myelogenous leukemia cell line K562. Tyrosine phosphorylated ERK2, but not ERK1, p38, or JNK1, efficiently bound to catalytically inactive HePTP mutants in which the active site cysteine (HePTP-C/S) or the conserved aspartic acid residue (HePTP-D/A) had been exchanged for serine and alanine, respectively. Moreover, the interaction of ERK2 with HePTP trapping mutants was dependent on ERK2 tyrosine phosphorylation, indicating that HePTP is specifically targeted to activated ERK2. Using a deletion mutant of HePTP (HePTP-dLD), in which 14 amino acid residues within the N-terminus are missing, we show that regions outside the catalytic domain are also required for the interaction. Furthermore, overexpression of HePTP in K562 cells and fibroblasts interfered with PMA or growth factor induced MAP-kinase activation and HePTP efficiently dephosphorylated active ERK2 on the tyrosine residue in the activation loop in vitro. Together, these data identify ERK2 as a specific and direct target of HePTP and are consistent with a model in which HePTP negatively regulates ERK2 activity as part of a feedback mechanism.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are a family of enzymes that modulate the cellular level of tyrosine phosphorylation. Based on cellular location, they are classified as receptor like or intracellular PTPs. Structure and function studies have led to the understanding of the enzymatic mechanism of this class of enzymes. Proper targeting of PTPs is essential for many cellular signalling events including antigen induced proliferative responses of B and T cells. The physiological significance of PTPs is further unveiled through mice gene knockout studies and human genome sequencing and mapping projects. Several PTPs are shown to be critical in the pathogenesis of human diseases.

Abstract
Signal transduction pathways are often seen as cascades of kinases, whereas phosphatases are relinquished to the housekeeping function of resetting the individual elements to a resting state. However, critical biological processes such as cellular migration require a coordinated and constant remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton as well as a rapid turnover of the cell-substratum linkages that necessitate the concomitant action of antagonistic enzymes. Tyrosine phosphorylation was long known to be involved in adhesion and de-adhesion mediated via the integrin receptors. As the roles of tyrosine kinases such as focal adhesion kinase, c-Src, and Csk in this pathway are being extensively studied, increasing evidence is emerging about the importance of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP). In this review we discuss examples of PTPs that were recently shown to play a role in cell adhesion and migration and their mechanism of action.Key words: protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP), migration, adhesion, FAK, p130Cas, Src.

Abstract
Type 2 or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is reaching epidemic proportions in industrialized countries. Obesity is a major factor in this disease, since about 75% of obese individuals will develop type 2 diabetes. There is an urgent need to develop new therapies for these diseases. Recently, the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP-1B has been shown to be a negative regulator of the insulin signaling pathway, suggesting that inhibitors of this enzyme may be beneficial in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Mice lacking PTP-1B are resistant to both diabetes and obesity.
