Crystal structure of the ecdysone phosphate phosphatase, EPPase, from Bombix mori in complex with tungstate
Structural highlights
FunctionEPP_BOMMO Steroid phosphatase which catalyzes the conversion of inactive phosphorylated ecdysteroids into their active forms (PubMed:12721294, PubMed:15738639, PubMed:18937503). Shows high activity towards ecdysone 22-phosphate (E22P) (PubMed:12721294). Has lower activity towards other ecdysteriod phosphates including 20-hydroxyecdysone 22-phosphate (20E22P) and 2-deoxyecdysone 22-phosphate (2dE22P) (PubMed:12721294). Also has protein tyrosine phosphatase activity (PubMed:18937503).[1] [2] [3] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedHere, we present the crystal structure of the ecdysone phosphate phosphatase (EPPase) phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM) homology domain, the first structure of a steroid phosphate phosphatase. The structure reveals an alpha/beta-fold common to members of the two histidine (2H)-phosphatase superfamily with strong homology to the Suppressor of T-cell receptor signaling-1 (Sts-1 PGM) protein. The putative EPPase PGM active site contains signature residues shared by 2H-phosphatase enzymes, including a conserved histidine (His80) that acts as a nucleophile during catalysis. The physiological substrate ecdysone 22-phosphate was modeled in a hydrophobic cavity close to the phosphate-binding site. EPPase PGM shows limited substrate specificity with an ability to hydrolyze steroid phosphates, the phospho-tyrosine (pTyr) substrate analogue para-nitrophenylphosphate ( pNPP) and pTyr-containing peptides and proteins. Altogether, our data demonstrate a new protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) activity for EPPase. They suggest that EPPase and its closest homologues can be grouped into a distinct subfamily in the large 2H-phosphatase superfamily of proteins. Structural and functional characterization of the c-terminal domain of the ecdysteroid phosphate phosphatase from bombyx mori reveals a new enzymatic activity.,Chen Y, Jakoncic J, Wang J, Zheng X, Carpino N, Nassar N Biochemistry. 2008 Nov 18;47(46):12135-45.
