Structural highlights
FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedDual specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) are a subfamily of protein tyrosine phosphatases that regulate diverse cellular processes through dephosphorylation of phosphorylated substrates. DUSPs are commonly found in eukaryotes, bacteria, archaea, and viruses. However, structural and biochemical characterization of bacterial DUSP remains limited, as only one bacterial DUSP has been identified thus far. In this study, we investigated a novel putative bacterial DUSP from Candidatus Chlorohelix allophototropha, referred to as CCaDUSP. The crystal structure of CCaDUSP showed the presence of a well-conserved catalytic motif with a characteristic phosphate-binding loop. Biochemical analyses further confirmed that CCaDUSP exhibits phosphatase activity and contains dual general acid/base residues, both of which contribute to its enzymatic activity. These findings not only represent the first characterization of a novel bacterial DUSP with dual general acid/base residues but also provide a foundation for understanding the diversity of DUSP proteins in bacteria.
