Abstract
DDX3X is a human DEAD-box RNA helicase implicated in many important cellular processes. In addition to the RecA-like catalytic core, DDX3X contains N- and C-terminal domains. The ancillary domains of DEAD-box RNA helicases have been shown to modulate their interactions with RNA and nucleotide substrates. Here, with the goal of understanding the role of N- and C-terminal domains of DDX3X on the DDX3X catalytic activity, we examined the interactions of RNA substrates and nucleotides with a DDX3X construct possessing the entire N-terminal domain and the catalytic core but lacking 80 residues from its C-terminal domain. Next, we compared our results with previously investigated DDX3X constructs. Our data show that the C-terminal truncated DDX3X does not bind to a blunt-ended double-helix RNA. This conclusion agrees with the data obtained on the wild-type LAF-1 protein, the DDX3X ortholog in Caenorhabditis elegans, and disagrees with the data obtained on the minimally active DDX3X construct, which misses 131 residues from its N-terminal domain and 80 residues from its C-terminal domain. The minimally active DDX3X construct was able to bind to the blunt-ended RNA construct. Combined, the previous studies and our results indicate that the N-terminal of DDX3X modulates the choice of DDX3X-RNA substrates. Furthermore, a previous study showed that the wild-type DDX3X construct hydrolyzes all four nucleotides and deoxynucleotides, both in the presence and absence of RNA. The C-terminal truncated DDX3X investigated here hydrolyzes only cytidine triphosphate (CTP) in the absence of RNA and CTP, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and deoxyribose adenosine triphosphate (dATP) in the presence of RNA. Hence, the C-terminal truncated DDX3X has a more stringent nucleotide specificity than wild-type DDX3X.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE The bi-domain protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) exemplify functional evolution in signaling proteins for optimal spatiotemporal signal transduction. Bi-domain PTPs are products of gene duplication. The catalytic activity, however, is often localized to one PTP domain. The inactive PTP domain adopts multiple functional roles. These include modulation of catalytic activity, substrate specificity, and stability of the bi-domain enzyme. In some cases, the inactive PTP domain is a receptor for redox stimuli. Since multiple bi-domain PTPs are concurrently active in related cellular pathways, a stringent regulatory mechanism and selective cross-talk is essential to ensure fidelity in signal transduction. RECENT ADVANCES The inactive PTP domain is an activator for the catalytic PTP domain in some cases, whereas it reduces catalytic activity in other bi-domain PTPs. The relative orientation of the two domains provides a conformational rationale for this regulatory mechanism. Recent structural and biochemical data reveal that these PTP domains participate in substrate recruitment. The inactive PTP domain has also been demonstrated to undergo substantial conformational rearrangement and oligomerization under oxidative stress. CRITICAL ISSUES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS The role of the inactive PTP domain in coupling environmental stimuli with catalytic activity needs to be further examined. Another aspect that merits attention is the role of this domain in substrate recruitment. These aspects have been poorly characterized in vivo. These lacunae currently restrict our understanding of neo-functionalization of the inactive PTP domain in the bi-domain enzyme. It appears likely that more data from these research themes could form the basis for understanding the fidelity in intracellular signal transduction.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are key enzymes in the regulation of cellular homeostasis and signaling pathways. Strikingly, not all PTPs bear enzymatic activity. A considerable fraction of PTPs are enzymatically inactive and are known as pseudophosphatases. Despite the lack of activity they execute pivotal roles in development, cell biology and human disease. The present review is focused on the methods used to identify pseudophosphatases, their targets, and physiological roles. We present a strategy for detailed enzymatic analysis of inactive PTPs, regulation of inactive PTP domains and identification of binding partners. Furthermore, we provide a detailed overview of human pseudophosphatases and discuss their regulation of cellular processes and functions in human pathologies.

Abstract
We determined the substrate specificities of the protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) PTP1B, RPTPα, SHP-1, and SHP-2 by on-bead screening of combinatorial peptide libraries and solution-phase kinetic analysis of individually synthesized phosphotyrosyl (pY) peptides. These PTPs exhibit different levels of sequence specificity and catalytic efficiency. The catalytic domain of RPTPα has very weak sequence specificity and is approximately 2 orders of magnitude less active than the other three PTPs. The PTP1B catalytic domain has modest preference for acidic residues on both sides of pY, is highly active toward multiply phosphorylated peptides, but disfavors basic residues at any position, a Gly at the pY-1 position, or a Pro at the pY+1 position. By contrast, SHP-1 and SHP-2 share similar but much narrower substrate specificities, with a strong preference for acidic and aromatic hydrophobic amino acids on both sides of the pY residue. An efficient SHP-1/2 substrate generally contains two or more acidic residues on the N-terminal side and one or more acidic residues on the C-terminal side of pY but no basic residues. Subtle differences exist between SHP-1 and SHP-2 in that SHP-1 has a stronger preference for acidic residues at the pY-1 and pY+1 positions and the two SHPs prefer acidic residues at different positions N-terminal to pY. A survey of the known protein substrates of PTP1B, SHP-1, and SHP-2 shows an excellent agreement between the in vivo dephosphorylation pattern and the in vitro specificity profiles derived from library screening. These results suggest that different PTPs have distinct sequence specificity profiles and the intrinsic activity/specificity of the PTP domain is an important determinant of the enzyme's in vivo substrate specificity.

Abstract
Src homology 2 (SH2) domains mediate protein-protein interactions by recognizing short phosphotyrosyl (pY) peptide motifs in their partner proteins. Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) catalyze the dephosphorylation of pY proteins, counteracting the protein tyrosine kinases. Both types of proteins exhibit primary sequence specificity, which plays at least a partial role in dictating their physiological interacting partners or substrates. A combinatorial peptide library method has been developed to systematically assess the sequence specificity of SH2 domains and PTPs. A "one-bead-one-compound" pY peptide library is synthesized on 90-microm TentaGel beads and screened against an SH2 domain or PTP of interest for binding or catalysis. The beads that carry the tightest binding sequences against the SH2 domain or the most efficient substrates of the PTP are selected by an enzyme-linked assay and individually sequenced by a partial Edman degradation/mass spectrometry technique. The combinatorial method has been applied to determine the sequence specificity of 8 SH2 domains from Src and Csk kinases, adaptor protein Grb2, and phosphatases SHP-1, SHP-2, and SHIP1 and a prototypical PTP, PTP1B.

Abstract
The fluorogenic substrate 6,8-difluoro-4-methylumbiliferyl phosphate (DIFMUP) has been widely used for the detection of serine and threonine phosphatase activities. Here we describe the use of this substrate for the characterization of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and for the screening for PTP inhibitors. The measured kinetic and inhibitor constants for DIFMUP cleavage were comparable with those of the widely used but less discriminative and practicable substrates, para-nitrophenylphosphate and phosphotyrosine-containing peptides, respectively. Furthermore, the continuous and highly sensitive assay allows fast and accurate investigations of the type, kinetic behavior, and binding mode of small-molecule inhibitors. We discuss the validation of this assay system for various PTPs and its use in inhibitor screening for PTP1B.

Abstract
Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASp) is a key regulator of the Arp2/3 complex and the actin cytoskeleton in hematopoietic cells. WASp is capable of forming an auto-inhibited conformation, which can be disrupted by binding of Cdc42 and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, leading to its activation. Stimulation of the collagen receptor on platelets and crosslinking the B-cell receptor induce tyrosine phosphorylation of WASp. Here we show that the Src family kinase Hck induces phosphorylation of WASp-Tyr(291) independently of Cdc42 and that this causes a shift in the mobility of WASp upon SDS-PAGE. A phospho-mimicking mutant, WASp-Y291E, exhibited an enhanced ability to stimulate actin polymerization in a cell-free system and when microinjected into primary macrophages induced extensive filopodium formation with greater efficiency than wild-type WASp or a Y291F mutant. We propose that phosphorylation of Tyr(291) directly regulates WASp function.

The linkage between beta1 integrin and the actin cytoskeleton is differentially regulated by tyrosine and serine/threonine phosphorylation of beta1 integrin in normal and cancerous human breast cells. BMC Cell Biol 2001; 2:23.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Structural requirements for the beta1 integrin functions in cell adhesion, spreading and signaling have been well documented mainly for fibroblasts. In this study, we examined the reason for the reduced surface expression of beta1 integrin in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells compared to normal human breast epithelial (HBE) cells, both of which adhered to collagen type IV. RESULTS The beta1 integrin immunoprecipitates from either HBE or MCF-7 cells involved alpha-actinin while actin coprecipitated with beta1 integrin from HBE cells but not from MCF-7 cells. Immunoblotting using the anti-phosphotyrosine (PY) antibody indicated the phosphorylation of beta1 integrin at least at tyrosine in both cells. Dephosphorylation of beta1 integrin from HBE cells by protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP), but not by protein serine/threonine phosphatase (PP), caused dissociation of actin from beta1 integrin, although dephosphorylation of it from MCF-7 cells by either PTP or PP caused association of the two proteins. In MCF-7 cells beta1 integrin coprecipitated doublet of proteins having the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK) II activity that was susceptible to KN-62, a specific inhibitor of CaMKII. CONCLUSION The results suggest that beta1 integrin is tyrosine phosphorylated and links with actin via alpha-actinin in HBE cells but prevented from linking with actin in MCF-7 cells by phosphorylation at both tyrosine and serine/threonine of beta1 integrin which forms a complex with alpha-actinin and CaMKII. Thus the linkage formation of beta1 integrin with actin may be differentially regulated by its tyrosine and serine/threonine phosphorylation in normal HBE cells and breast cancer MCF-7 cells.

Abstract
A nonradioactive assay for protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), employing a tyrosine-phosphorylated peptide as a substrate, has been developed and applied to analyze purified enzymes, cell extracts, and immunoprecipitates. The reaction was followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in a linear and positive ion mode with delayed extraction. MALDI-TOF MS detects a loss of peptide mass by 80 Da as a result of dephosphorylation and, more importantly, it yields phospho-peptide to dephosphorylated product peak intensity ratios proportional to their concentration ratios. A strong bias of the MALDI-TOF MS toward detection of the non-phospho-peptide allows accurate detection of small fractions of dephosphorylation. The method is highly sensitive and reproducible. It can be applied to general assays of protein phosphatases with various phospho-peptides as substrates.

Abstract
The posttranslational regulation of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) has been suggested to have a crucial role in maintaining the phosphotyrosine level in cells. Here we examined the regulatory effects of metal ions on human dual-specificity vaccinia H1-related protein tyrosine phosphatase (VHR) in vitro. Among various metal ions examined, Fe3+, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Cd2+ exerted their inactivational effects on VHR, and Cu2+ is the most potent inactivator. The VHR activity inactivated by the metal ions except Cu2+ was significantly restored by EDTA. The efficacy of Cu2+ for the VHR inactivation was about 200-fold more potent than that of H2O2. Cu2+ also inactivated other PTPs including PTP1B and SHP-1. The Cu2+-mediated inactivation at the submicromolar range was eradicated by dithiothreitol treatment. The loss of VHR activity correlated with the decreased [14C]iodoacetate labeling of active-site cysteine, suggesting that Cu2+ brought about the oxidation of the active-site cysteine. On the contrary, Zn2+ that exerted an inactivational effect at millimolar concentrations appeared not directly linked to the active-site cysteine, as indicated by the fact that [14C]iodoacetate labeling was unaffected and that the effect of Zn2+ on the Y78F mutant was increased. The reduction potential of VHR was estimated to be -331 mV by utilizing the reversibility of the redox state of VHR. Thus, we conclude that the highly potent Cu2+ inactivation of VHR is a consequence of the oxidation of the active-site cysteine and the mode of Zn2+ inactivation is distinct from that of Cu2+.

Abstract
A highly sensitive and continuous protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) assay using 3,6-fluorescein diphosphate (FDP) is described. Leukocyte phosphatase CD45 (leukocyte common antigen), protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B, and leukocyte common antigen-related protein LAR preferentially hydrolyze FDP to fluorescein monophosphate (FMP) with V(max) and K(m) values comparable with those of phosphotyrosine peptide substrates. Further hydrolysis of FMP to fluorescein was less efficient because of increased K(m) values compared with those of FDP. FMP absorbs strongly at 445 nm and fluoresces intensely near 515 nm, both of which are insensitive to pH perturbations above pH 6. Its high catalytic efficiency, coupled with the highly sensitive dual detection in the visible wavelength region and wider pH operating range, make FDP the substrate of choice for PTPase inhibitor screening in HTS format and assay miniaturization.

Abstract
An "inverse alanine scanning" peptide library approach has been developed to assess the substrate specificity of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases). In this method each Ala moiety in the parent peptide, Ac-AAAApYAAAA-NH(2), is separately and sequentially replaced by the 19 non-Ala amino acids to generate a library of 153 well defined peptides. The relatively small number of peptides allows the acquisition of explicit kinetic data for all library members, thereby furnishing information about the contribution of individual amino acids with respect to substrate properties. The approach was applied to protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) as a first example, and the highly potent peptide substrate Ac-ELEFpYMDYE-NH(2) (k(cat)/K(m) 2.2 +/- 0.05 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1)) has been identified. More importantly, several heretofore unknown features of the substrate specificity of PTP1B were revealed. This includes the ability of PTP1B to accommodate acidic, aromatic, and hydrophobic residues at the -1 position, a strong nonpreference for Lys and Arg residues in any position, and the first evidence that residues well beyond the +1 position contribute to substrate efficacy.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) mediate the dephosphorylation of phosphotyrosine. PTPs are known to be involved in many signal transduction pathways leading to cell growth, differentiation, and oncogenic transformation. We have cloned a new family of novel protein tyrosine phosphatase-like genes, the Ptpl (protein tyrosine phosphatase-like; proline instead of catalytic arginine) gene family. This gene family is composed of at least three members, and we describe here the developmental expression pattern and chromosomal location for one of these genes, Ptpla. In situ hybridization studies revealed that Ptpla expression was first detected at embryonic day 8.5 in muscle progenitors and later in differentiated muscle types: in the developing heart, throughout the liver and lungs, and in a number of neural crest derivatives including the dorsal root and trigeminal ganglia. Postnatally Ptpla was expressed in a number of adult tissues including cardiac and skeletal muscle, liver, testis, and kidney. The early expression pattern of this gene and its persistent expression in adult tissues suggest that it may have an important role in the development, differentiation, and maintenance of a number of different tissue types. The human homologue of Ptpla (PTPLA) was cloned and shown to map to 10p13-p14.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) are important regulators of signal transduction systems, but the specificity of their action is largely unexplored. We have approached this problem by attempting to map the subsite preferences of these enzymes using combinatorial chemistry approaches. Protein-tyrosine peptidomimetics containing nonhydrolyzable phosphotyrosine analogues bind to PTPases with high affinity and act as competitive inhibitors of phosphatase activity. Human PTP-1B, a PTPase implicated to play an important role in the regulation of growth factor signal transduction pathways, was used to screen a synthetic combinatorial library containing malonyltyrosine as a phosphotyrosine mimic. Using two cross-validating combinatorial chemistry screening approaches, one using an iterative method and the other employing library affinity selection-mass spectrometric detection, peptides with high affinity for PTP-1B were identified and subsite preferences were detailed by quantitatively comparing residues of different character. Consistent with previous observations, acidic residues were preferred in subsites X-3 and X-2. In contrast, aromatic substitutions were clearly preferred at the X-1 subsite. This information supports the concept that this class of enzymes may have high substrate specificity as dictated by the sequence proximal to the phosphorylation site. The results are discussed with regards to the use of combinatorial techniques in order to elucidate the interplay between enzyme subsites.

Abstract
Protein-tyrosine phosphatases can exhibit stringent substrate specificity in vivo, although the molecular basis for this is not well understood. The three-dimensional structure of the catalytically inactive protein-tyrosine phosphate 1B (PTP1B)/C215S complexed with an optimal substrate, DADEpYL-NH2, reveals specific interactions between amino acid residues in the substrate and PTP1B. The goal of this work is to rigorously evaluate the functional significance of Tyr46, Arg47, Asp48, Phe182, and Gln262 in substrate binding and catalysis, using site-directed mutagenesis. Combined with structural information, kinetic analysis of the wild type and mutant PTP1B using p-nitrophenyl phosphate and phosphotyrosine-containing peptides has yielded further insight into PTP1B residues, which recognize general features, as well as specific properties, in peptide substrates. In addition, the kinetic results suggest roles of these residues in E-P hydrolysis, which are not obvious from the structure of PTP1B/peptide complex. Thus, Tyr46 and Asp48 recognize common features of peptide substrates and are important for peptide substrate binding and/or E-P formation. Arg47 acts as a determinant of substrate specificity and is responsible for the modest preference of PTP1B for acidic residues NH2-terminal to phosphotyrosine. Phe182 and the invariant Gln262 are not only important for substrate binding and/or E-P formation but also important for the E-P hydrolysis step.

Abstract
Vanadate and pervanadate (the complexes of vanadate with hydrogen peroxide) are two commonly used general protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) inhibitors. These compounds also have insulin-mimetic properties, an observation that has generated a great deal of interest and study. Since a careful kinetic study of the two inhibitors has been lacking, we sought to analyze their mechanisms of inhibition. Our results show that vanadate is a competitive inhibitor for the protein-tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B, with a Ki of 0.38+/-0.02 microM. EDTA, which is known to chelate vanadate, causes an immediate and complete reversal of the inhibition due to vanadate when added to an enzyme assay. Pervanadate, by contrast, inhibits by irreversibly oxidizing the catalytic cysteine of PTP1B, as determined by mass spectrometry. Reducing agents such as dithiothreitol that are used in PTP assays to keep the catalytic cysteine reduced and active were found to convert pervanadate rapidly to vanadate. Under certain conditions, slow time-dependent inactivation by vanadate was observed; since catalase blocked this inactivation, it was ascribed to in situ generation of hydrogen peroxide and subsequent formation of pervanadate. Implications for the use of these compounds as inhibitors and rationalization for some of their in vivo effects are considered.

Abstract
3S-peptide-I is a synthetic tris-sulfotyrosyl dodecapeptide corresponding to the major site of insulin receptor autophosphorylation that potently inhibits dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor in a cell-free system and in digitonin-permeabilized Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells overexpressing the human insulin receptors (CHO/HIRc cells) (Liotta, A. S., Kole, H. K., Fales, H. M., Roth, J., and Bernier, M. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 22996-23001). In the present study, we found that 3S-peptide-I was not capable of inhibiting dephosphorylation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors in digitonin-permeabilized CHO cells that overexpress human EGF receptors (CHO/EGF-R cells). Moreover, the addition of a N-stearyl derivative of 3S-peptide-I to intact CHO/HIRc cells caused a concentration-dependent increase in insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of the insulin receptor, with a maximum effect (approximately 2.7-fold) at 50 microM. In contrast, ligand-stimulated EGF receptor phosphorylation in CHO/EGF-R cells was not affected by the presence of stearyl 3S-peptide-I. Furthermore, treatment of CHO/HIRc cells with this N-stearyl peptide led to a significant enhancement of the insulin-induced association of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase activity with insulin receptor substrate 1 and the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase. However, stearyl 3S-peptide-I had no effect on the EGF-stimulated activation of PI-3-kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase in CHO/EGF-R cells. These data indicate that this tris-sulfotyrosyl dodecapeptide selectively enhances insulin signal transduction by specifically inhibiting dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor in intact cells.

Abstract
Contact-induced growth inhibition is a characteristic feature of normal cells grown in monolayer. The importance of reversible tyrosine phosphorylation in mitogenic signaling, together with earlier reports of increased levels of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) in densely cultured cells, has led to the proposal that PTPs may be involved in mediating contact inhibition of cell growth. We have compared net levels of ligand-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor in mink lung epithelial cells cultured under sparse or dense conditions. The levels of net tyrosine phosphorylation of the stimulated EGF receptor was found to be more than 4-fold higher in sparse cultures. This difference was greatly reduced when cells were pretreated with the PTP inhibitor phenyl arsine oxide. Monitoring of dephosphorylation rates in vivo of the stimulated EGF receptors revealed increased EGF receptor-directed PTP activity in dense cultures. The platelet-derived growth factor beta-receptor, expressed in stably transfected porcine aortic endothelial cells, also displayed lower levels of ligand induced net tyrosine phosphorylation in cells from dense cultures. This density-dependent difference in tyrosine phosphorylation was reduced by pretreatment of cultures with the PTP inhibitor orthovanadate. A PTP-mediated decrease of the in vivo net levels of ligand induced tyrosine phosphorylation of EGF and platelet-derived growth factor receptors in cells at high density have thus been demonstrated. Loss of this previously unnoticed regulatory pathway may be involved in cellular transformation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop sensitive nonisotopic assays for protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) activity. METHODS The fluorometric assay is based on the fact that phosphotyrosine but not tyrosine forms highly fluorescent complexes with Tb3+. Thus, PTP activity can be followed by measuring the decrease of fluorescence due to hydrolysis of phosphotyrosine. The time-resolved immunofluorometric assay employs tyrosine-phosphorylated substrates, immobilized on microtitre wells. After incubation with PTP, the remaining phosphotyrosine residues are reacted with an antiphosphotyrosine antibody. The immunocomplexes formed are detected with an alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-labeled second antibody. The phosphate ester of 5' fluorosalicylate (FSAP) is used as substrate. The fluorosalicylate produced forms highly fluorescent complexes with Tb3+ - EDTA in alkaline solution. The fluorescence is measured with a time-resolved fluorometer. RESULTS The truncated form of the T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCdeltaC11 PTP) was determined in the range 1100-36,500 U/L by the fluorometric assay and 36-7100 U/L by the time-resolved immunofluorometric assay. CONCLUSIONS The two nonisotopic assays should prove beneficial for the determination and study of various PTP.

Abstract
SH-PTP1 (also known as PTP1C, HCP, and SHP) is a non-transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) containing two tandem Src homology 2 (SH2) domains. We show here that the two SH2 (N-SH2 and C-SH2) domains in SH-PTP1 have different functions in regulation of the PTPase domain and thereby signal transduction. While the N-terminal SH2 domain is both necessary and sufficient for autoinhibition through an intramolecular association with the PTPase domain, truncation of the C-SH2 domain [SH-PTP1 (delta CSH2) construct] has little effect on SH-PTP1 activity. A synthetic phosphotyrosine residue (pY) peptide derived from the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR pY429) binds to the N-SH2 domain and activates both wild-type SH-PTP1 and SH-PTP1 (delta CSH2) 60- to 80-fold. Another pY peptide corresponding to a phosphorylation site on the IgG Fc receptor (Fc gamma RIIB1 pY309) associates with both the C-SH2 domain (Kd = 2.8 microM and the N-SH2 domain (Kd = 15.0 microM) and also activates SH-PTP1 12-fold. By analysis of the effect of the Fc gamma RIIB1 pY309 peptide on SH-PTP1 (delta CSH2), SH-PTP1 (R30K/R33E), SH-PTP1 (R30K/R136K), and SH-PTP1 (R136K) mutants in which the function of either the N- or C-SH2 domain has been impaired, we have determined that both synthetic pY peptides stimulate SH-PTP1 by binding to its N-SH2 domain; binding of pY ligand to the C-SH2 domain has no effect on SH-PTP1 activity. We propose that the N-terminal SH2 domain serves both as a regulatory domain and as a recruiting unit, whereas the C-terminal SH2 domain acts merely as a recruiting unit.

Abstract
Using SDS/polyacrylamide gels that contained myelin basic protein, we identified a 46-kDa protein kinase in tobacco that is transiently activated by cutting. Although the activity of the kinase was rarely detectable in mature leaves, marked activity became apparent within several minutes after isolation of leaf discs and subsided within 30 min. In the presence of cycloheximide (CHX), the kinase activity did not diminish after the isolation over the course of 2 hr, suggesting that protein synthesis was not required for the activation of the kinase. A second cutting of leaf discs between 30 min and 60 min after the isolation failed to activate the kinase, whereas a second cutting given 3 hr after isolation apparently activated the kinase. These results suggest that the 46-kDa protein kinase is desensitized immediately after the first activation, which can be blocked by CHX, but the response ability recovers with time. When protein extracts containing the active kinase were treated with serine/threonine-specific or tyrosine-specific protein phosphatase, the kinase activity was abolished. After immunoprecipitation with antibody against phosphotyrosine, activity of the kinase was recovered in the immunoprecipitate. These results suggest that the active form of the kinase is phosphorylated at both serine/threonine and tyrosine residues. It seems likely that the 46-kDa protein kinase can be activated by dual phosphorylation. The activity of a 46-kDa protein kinase was also detected in leaves of a wide variety of plant species including dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants. We propose the name PMSAP (plant multisignal-activated protein) kinase for this kinase because the kinase was also activated by various signals other than cutting.

Abstract
Preparation of radioactive phosphorylated substrates is laborious, yields a limited amount of substrate with a short half-life and generates a low percentage of phosphorylated product which then has to be separated from non-phosphorylated material. These factors limit the usefulness of radioactive phosphorylated substrates in phosphatase assays and prohibit their use for kinetic analysis, which often requires large amounts of substrate. An alternative method for the kinetic analysis of purified or recombinant soluble phosphatases uses the malachite green reagent which can detect nanomoles of phosphate released from chemically synthesized phosphorylated peptides. In this report we describe a rapid and sensitive non-radioactive method that can be used to measure protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) activities of both transmembrane and soluble phosphatases immunoprecipitated directly from cells. This colorimetric microassay is performed in 96 well microtitre plates and can reliably detect 100 pmol of free phosphate released, using a standard microplate reader. The phosphatase activity of CD45, a transmembrane PTP, was determined from as few as 1 x 10(4) lymphoid cells. The development of this colorimetric assay to measure immunoprecipitated CD45 PTP activity isolated from very small numbers of cells has general applicability for other PTPs and will help identify the cellular situations and conditions that result in changes in PTP activity.

Abstract
An expression and purification method was developed to obtain the recombinant human dual-specific protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) VHR in quantities suitable for both kinetic studies and crystallization. Physical characterization of the homogeneous recombinant protein verified the mass to be 20,500 +/- 100 by matrix-assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry, confirmed the anticipated NH2-terminal amino acid sequence and demonstrated that the protein exists as a monomer. Conditions were developed to obtain crystals which were suitable for x-ray structure determination. Using synthetic diphosphorylated peptides corresponding to MAP177-189 (mitogen-activated protein) kinase (DHTG-FLpTEpYVATR), an assay was devised which permitted the determination of the rate constants for dephosphorylation of the diphosphorylated peptide on threonine and tyrosine residues. The diphosphorylated peptides are preferred over the singly phosphorylated on tyrosine by 3-8-fold. The apparent second-order rate constant kcat/Km for dephosphorylation of phosphotyrosine on DHTGFLpTEpYVATR was 32,000 M-1 S-1 while dephosphorylation of phosphothreonine was 14 M-1 S-1 (pH 6). The reaction of DHTGFLpTEpYVATR with VHR is ordered, with rapid dephosphorylation on tyrosine occurring first followed by slow dephosphorylation on threonine. Similar results were obtained with F(NLe)(N-Le)pTPpYVVTR, a peptide corresponding to a MAP kinase-like protein (JNK1(180-189)) which is involved in the stress response signaling pathway.

Abstract
Protein-tyrosine-phosphatases (PTPases) have been implicated in the regulation of certain tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors in that they dephosphorylate the activated (autophosphorylated) form of the receptors. In order to identify PTPases that potentially act on receptor targets in liver, we used the human leucocyte common antigen-related PTPase (LAR) cDNA [Streuli, Krueger, Hall, Schlossman and Saito (1988) J. Exp. Med. 168, 1523-1530] and isolated two closely related transmembrane PTPase homologues from a rat hepatic cDNA library. Both PTPases had large extracellular domains that contained three immunoglobulin-like repeats and eight type-III fibronectin repeats. Both enzymes had tandem homologous PTPase domains following a single hydrophobic transmembrane domain. One sequence encoded the rat homologue of LAR. The second PTPase, designated LAR-PTP2, had 79 and 90% identity with rat LAR in the respective cytoplasmic PTPase domains, with only 57% sequence similarity in the extracellular domain. The catalytic domains of LAR and LAR-PTP2 prepared by bacterial expression were active in dephosphorylating a variety of phosphotyrosyl substrates but did not hydrolyse phosphoserine or phosphothreonine residues of labelled casein. Both enzymes exhibited rapid turnover numbers of 4-7 s-1 for myelin basic protein and 78-150 s-1 for derivatized lysozyme. LAR and LAR-PTP2 displayed similar PTPase activity towards the simultaneous dephosphorylation of receptors of intact insulin and epidermal growth factor from liver membranes. These data indicate that there is a family of LAR-related PTPases that may regulate the phosphorylation state of receptor tyrosine kinases in liver and other tissues.

Abstract
The intracellular domain of human protein tyrosine phosphatase beta (HPTP beta) (44 kDa) was expressed in bacteria, purified using epitope 'tagging' immunoaffinity chromatography, and characterized with respect to kinetic profile, substrate specificity and potential modulators of enzyme activity. A chromogenic assay based on the Malachite Green method was employed for the detection of inorganic phosphate (Pi) released from phosphopeptides by HPTP beta. This assay, modified so as to improve its sensitivity, was adapted to a 96-well microtitre plate format, and provided linear detection between 50 and 1000 pmol of Pi. The cytoplasmic domain of HPTP beta was strongly inhibited by vanadate, molybdate, heparin, poly(Glu, Tyr) (4:1) and zinc ions. In order to explore the substrate preferences of this PTPase, we generated 13-residue synthetic phosphotyrosine-containing peptides that corresponded to sites of physiological tyrosine phosphorylation. HPTP beta demonstrated kcat. values between 76 and 258 s-1 using four different phosphopeptides. The substrate preference of HPTP beta was in the order srcTyr-527 > PDGF-RTyr-740 > ERK1Tyr-204 >> CSF-1RTyr-708 with Km values ranging from 140 microM to greater than 10 mM. The variations in affinity were probably due to differences among the four phosphopeptides compared, particularly with respect to the character of the charged amino acids flanking the phosphotyrosine residue.

Abstract
The synthon for O-thiophosphotyrosine, Fmoc-Tyr[PS(OBzl)2]-OH (1c), was prepared in 63% yield from Fmoc-Tyr-OH by first transient protection as the tBuMe2Si-ester and phosphinylation with (BzlO)2PNiPr2/tetrazole followed by oxidation of P(III) to P(V) with S8 in CS2. Building block 1c was incorporated in the Fmoc solid-phase synthesis of two O-thiophosphotyrosine-containing peptides H-Thr-Glu-Pro-Gln-Tyr(PS)-Gln-Pro-Gly-Glu-OH (2) and H-Thr-Arg-Asp-Ile-Tyr(PS)-Glu-Thr-Asp-Phe-Phe-Arg-Lys-OH (3), corresponding to sequences of the p60src (523-531) protein and an insulin receptor (IR) (1142-1153) analogue, respectively. An alternative approach of synthesis, the global phosphorylation of a resin-bound peptide, also proved useful. Thus, the free tyrosyl side-chain containing-peptide IR (1142-1153) on support was phosphinylated with the above phosphoramidite reagent followed by oxidation with either S8/CS2 or tetraethylthiuram disulfide/CH3CN solutions. Deprotection and peptide-resin cleavage was performed with a TFA/thiophenol (H2O) mixture. Crude peptides 2 and 3 were stable to the acidolytic deprotection. Preparative RP(C18)HPLC was initially performed using 0.1% TFA(aq)/EtOH solvents. However, analyses of fractions resulting from the purification step indicated significant decomposition of thiophosphopeptide in solution. Stability measurements both as a function of time and pH, further confirmed this initial finding. Purifications performed at intermediate pH using a triethylammonium acetate (pH 7.5)/CH3CN solvent system overcame this problem.

Abstract
The transmembrane PTPase HPTP beta differs from its related family members in having a single rather than a tandemly duplicated cytosolic catalytic domain. We have expressed the 354-amino acid, 41-kDa human PTP beta catalytic fragment in Escherichia coli, purified it, and assessed catalytic specificity with a series of pY peptides. HPTP beta shows distinctions from the related LAR PTPase and T cell CD45 PTPase domains: it recognizes phosphotyrosyl peptides of 9-11 residues from lck, src, and PLC gamma with Km values of 2, 4, and 1 microM, some 40-200-fold lower than the other two PTPases. With kcat values of 30-205 s-1, the catalytic efficiency, kcat/Km, of the HPTP beta 41-kDa catalytic domain is very high, up to 5.7 x 10(7) M-1 s-1. The peptides corresponding to PLC gamma (766-776) and EGFR (1,167-1,177) phosphorylation sites were used for structural variation to assess pY sequence context recognition by HPTP beta catalytic domain. While exchange of the alanine residue at the +2 position of the PLC gamma (Km of 1 microM) peptide to lysine or aspartic acid showed little or no effect on substrate affinity, replacement by arginine increased the Km 35-fold. Similarly, the high Km value of the EGFR pY peptide (Km of 104 microM) derives largely from the arginine residue at the +2 position of the peptide, since arginine to alanine single mutation at the -2 position of the EGFR peptide decreased the Km value 34-fold to 3 microM. Three thiophosphotyrosyl peptides have been prepared and act as substrates and competitive inhibitors of these PTPase catalytic domains.

Abstract
The substrate specificity of a recombinant protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) was probed using synthetic phosphotyrosine-containing peptides corresponding to several of the autophosphorylation sites in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The peptide corresponding to the autophosphorylation site, EGFR988-998, was chosen for further study due to its favorable kinetic constants. The contribution of individual amino acid side chains to the binding and catalysis was ascertained utilizing a strategy in which each amino acid within the undecapeptide EGFR988-998 (DADEpYLIPQQG) was sequentially substituted by an Ala residue (Ala-scan). The resulting effects due to singular Ala substitution were assessed by kinetic analysis with two widely divergent homogeneous PTPases. A "consensus sequence" for PTPase recognition may be suggested from the Ala-scan data as DADEpYAAPA, and the presence of acidic residues proximate to the NH2-terminal side of phosphorylation is critical for high-affinity binding and catalysis. The Km value for EGFR988-998 decreased as the pH increased, suggesting that phosphate dianion is favored for substrate binding. The results demonstrate that chemical features in the primary structure surrounding the dephosphorylation site contribute to PTPase substrate specificity.

Abstract
We report the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases). PTPase activity, was monitored by quantitating the disappearance of O-phospho-L-tyrosine (P-Tyr) in an ELISA system using antigen capture followed by double antibody labelling. PTPase activity of agarose conjugated PTP-1B was demonstrated using the ELISA system. PTPase activity was sensitive to both PTB-1B concentrations and time of incubation. 1 mU of PTPase activity was defined as that amount of enzyme producing a rate of loss of 0.01 absorbance units/minute with a specific activity of 150 pmol P-Tyr/min per micrograms protein based on the unit of PTPase activity from the conventional assay system. The PTP-1B activity was shown by the ELISA system to be completely inhibitable by Poly (Glu,Tyr)4:1 at 100 micrograms/ml. We used the ELISA system to detect PTPase activity in lysates of cultured cells. The PTPase activity of cell lysates of MDA-MB 468 breast carcinoma cells as obtained by the ELISA were compared with those obtained by a standard 32P(i) release assay using radio-labelled Raytide as PTPase substrate. The decrease in P-Tyr concentration was dependent on the time of incubation with the lysate and on lysate concentration and compared well with the release of 32P(i) in the radioactive assay system. Orthovanadate as well as heat denaturation inhibited the PTPase activity of the cell lysates in both the assay systems. The assay presented here is a simple immunological system capable of measuring activity of purified PTPases as well as PTPase levels in cell and tissue extracts.

Abstract
A protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (PTPase; EC 3.1.3.48) containing two Src homology 2 (SH2) domains, SHPTP1, was previously identified in hematopoietic and epithelial cells. By placing the coding sequence of the PTPase behind a bacteriophage T7 promoter, we have overexpressed both the full-length enzyme and a truncated PTPase domain in Escherichia coli. In each case, the soluble enzyme was expressed at levels of 3-4% of total soluble E. coli protein. The recombinant proteins had molecular weights of 63,000 and 45,000 for the full-length protein and the truncated PTPase domain, respectively, as determined by SDS/PAGE. The recombinant enzymes dephosphorylated p-nitrophenyl phosphate, phosphotyrosine, and phosphotyrosyl peptides but not phosphoserine, phosphothreonine, or phosphoseryl peptides. The enzymes showed a strong dependence on pH and ionic strength for their activity, with pH optima of 5.5 and 6.3 for the full-length enzyme and the catalytic domain, respectively, and an optimal NaCl concentration of 250-300 mM. The recombinant PTPases had high Km values for p-nitrophenyl phosphate and exhibited non-Michaelis-Menten kinetics for phosphotyrosyl peptides.

Abstract
An autophosphorylation site in the activated insulin receptor tyrosine kinase domain has three tyrosines phosphorylated when fully activated. To begin to examine recognition of triphosphotyrosyl sites by protein tyrosine phosphatases in possible control of signal transduction a triphosphotyrosyl dodecapeptide TRDIpYETDpYpYRK corresponding to residues 1,142-1,153 of the insulin receptor was prepared and incubated with the 40-kDa catalytic domain of the human PTPase LAR. To assess regioselectivity of recognition, the three diphosphotyrosyl regioisomers, and the three monophosphotyrosyl regioisomers were prepared and assayed. All seven peptides were PTPase substrates. To identify any preferences in dephosphorylation at pY5, pY9, or pY10, 1H-NMR analyses were conducted during enzyme incubations and distinguishing fingerprint regions determined for each of the seven phosphotyrosyl peptides. LAR PTPase shows strong preference for dephosphorylation first at pY5 (at tri-, di-, and monophosphotyrosyl levels). Initially this regioselectivity gives the Y5(pY9)(pY10) diphospho regioisomer, followed by equal dephosphorylation at pY9 or pY10 to give the corresponding monophosphoryl species on the way to fully dephosphorylated product. The NMR methodology is applicable to other peptides with multiple sites of phosphorylation that undergo attack by any phosphatase.

Abstract
Protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) play an essential role in the regulation of signal transduction mediated by reversible protein-tyrosine phosphorylation. In order to characterize individual rat hepatic PTPases that might have specificity for autophosphorylated receptor tyrosine kinases, we isolated cDNA segments encoding three PTPases (PTPase 1B, LAR and LRP) that are expressed in insulin-sensitive liver and skeletal muscle tissue, and evaluated their catalytic activity in vitro. The intrinsic PTPase activities of the full-length PTPase 1B protein and the cytoplasmic domains of LAR and LRP were studied by expression of recombinant cDNA constructs in the inducible bacterial vector pKK233-2 using extracts of a host strain of Escherichia coli that lacks endogenous PTPase activity. Each of the cloned cDNAs dephosphorylated a cognate phosphopeptide derived from the regulatory region of the insulin receptor. Despite having only 30-39% sequence identity in their catalytic domains, LAR and PTPase 1B had similar relative activities between the peptide substrate and intact insulin receptors, and also displayed similar initial rates of simultaneous dephosphorylation of insulin and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors. In contrast, LRP exhibited a higher rate of dephosphorylation of both intact receptors relative to the peptide substrate, and also dephosphorylated EGF receptors more rapidly than insulin receptors. These studies indicate that three PTPases with markedly divergent structures have the catalytic potential to dephosphorylate both insulin and EGF receptors in intact cells and that redundant PTPase activity may occur in vivo. For these PTPases to have specific physiological actions in intact cells, they must be influenced by steric effects of the additional protein segments of the native transmembrane enzymes, cellular compartmentalization and/or interactions with regulatory proteins.

Abstract
A continuous activity assay for protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), employing phosphotyrosine (P-Tyr) as a substrate, has been developed and applied to measure the activities of two purified enzymes, namely, the full length T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TC PTP) and its truncated form (TC delta C11 PTP). The reaction was followed by changes in ultraviolet absorption and fluorescence resulting from the dephosphorylation of P-Tyr. Both enzymes obey Michaelis-Menten kinetics, with Km = 304 microM, Vmax = 62,000 units/mg for TC PTP and Km = 194 microM, Vmax = 73,000 units/mg for TC delta C11 PTP. The D- and L-forms of P-Tyr are equally effective as substrates. The optimum pH for both enzymes is 4.75. The known effectors of PTPs have the predicted effects on catalytic activity.
