چکیده
Protein tyrosine phosphatase RQ (PTPRQ) was initially identified as a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase)-like protein that is upregulated in a model of renal injury. Here we present evidence that, like PTEN, the biologically important enzymatic activity of PTPRQ is as a phosphatidylinositol phosphatase (PIPase). The PIPase specificity of PTPRQ is broader than that of PTEN and depends on different amino acid residues in the catalytic domain. In vitro, the recombinant catalytic domain of PTPRQ has low PTPase activity against tyrosine-phosphorylated peptide and protein substrates but can dephosphorylate a broad range of phosphatidylinositol phosphates, including phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate and most phosphatidylinositol monophosphates and diphosphates. Phosphate can be hydrolyzed from the D3 and D5 positions in the inositol ring. PTPRQ does not have either of the basic amino acids in the catalytic domain that are important for the PIPase activity of PTEN or the sequence motifs that are characteristic of type II phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphatases. Instead, the PIPase activity depends on the WPE sequence present in the catalytic cleft of PTPRQ, and in the "inactive" D2 domains of many dual-domain PTPases, in place of the WPD motif present in standard active PTPases. Overexpression of PTPRQ in cultured cells inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis. An E2171D mutation that retains or increases PTPase activity but eliminates PIPase activity, eliminates the inhibitory effects on proliferation and apoptosis. These results indicate that PTPRQ represents a subtype of the PTPases whose biological activities result from its PIPase activity rather than its PTPase activity.

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) regulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of target proteins involved in several biological activities including cell proliferation and transformation.

متن کاملArresting times for PTEN.
The tumour suppressor PTEN (phosphatase and tensin deleted on chromosome 10) is an important regulator of cell proliferation and migration. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Lima-Fernandes and colleagues show that the universal signalling scaffold protein, b-arrestin dynamically interacts with PTEN, through a phosphorylationcontrolled switch. This protein–protein interaction profoundly influen...

Increasing evidence suggests that CD45, a transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase, is an important modulator of macrophage activation. Microglia, resident brain macrophages, express CD45 and proliferate under pathologic conditions. In this study, we examined the role of CD45 in modulating GM-CSF-induced proliferation and signal transduction in primary human microglial cultures. Soluble, but ...
متن کاملCREB is a novel nuclear target of PTEN phosphatase.
PTEN phosphatase is a potent tumor suppressor that regulates multiple cellular functions. In the cytoplasm, PTEN dephosphorylates its primary lipid substrate, phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate, to antagonize the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway. It has also become increasingly evident that PTEN functions in the nucleus and may play an important part in transcrip...
متن کاملPhosphatase inhibition promotes antiapoptotic but not proliferative signaling pathways in erythropoietin-dependent HCD57 cells.
Erythropoietin (EPO) allows erythroid precursors to proliferate while protecting them from apoptosis. Treatment of the EPO-dependent HCD57 murine cell line with 70 micromol/L orthovanadate, a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, resulted in both increased tyrosine protein phosphorylation and prevention of apoptosis in the absence of EPO without promoting proliferation. Orthovanadate also delayed apo...
