Phosphatase
other
A phosphatase is an enzyme that uses water to cleave a phosphoric acid monoester into a phosphate ion and an alcohol.
other
Because a phosphatase enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of its substrate, it is a subcategory of hydrolases.
other
Phosphatase enzymes are essential to many biological functions, because phosphorylation (e.g.
other
by protein kinases) and dephosphorylation (by phosphatases) serve diverse roles in cellular regulation and signaling.
other
Whereas phosphatases remove phosphate groups from molecules, kinases catalyze the transfer of phosphate groups to molecules from ATP.
other
Together, kinases and phosphatases direct a form of post-translational modification that is essential to the cell's regulatory network.
other
Phosphatase enzymes are not to be confused with phosphorylase enzymes, which catalyze the transfer of a phosphate group from hydrogen phosphate to an acceptor.
other
Due to their prevalence in cellular regulation, phosphatases are an area of interest for pharmaceutical research.
other
Phosphatases catalyze the hydrolysis of a phosphomonoester, removing a phosphate moiety from the substrate.
other
Water is split in the reaction, with the -OH group attaching to the phosphate ion, and the H+ protonating the hydroxyl group of the other product.
other
The net result of the reaction is the destruction of a phosphomonoester and the creation of both a phosphate ion and a molecule with a free hydroxyl group.
other
Phosphatases are able to dephosphorylate seemingly different sites on their substrates with great specificity.
other
Identifying the "phosphatase code," that is, the mechanisms and rules that govern substrate recognition for phosphatases, is still a work in progress, but the first comparative analysis of all the protein phosphatases encoded across nine eukaryotic 'phosphatome' genomes is now available.
other
Studies reveal that so called "docking interactions" play a significant role in substrate binding.
other
A phosphatase recognizes and interacts with various motifs (elements of secondary structure) on its substrate; these motifs bind with low affinity to docking sites on the phosphatase, which are not contained within its active site.
other
Although each individual docking interaction is weak, many interactions occur simultaneously, conferring a cumulative effect on binding specificity.
other
Docking interactions can also allosterically regulate phosphatases and thus influence their catalytic activity.
other
In contrast to kinases, phosphatase enzymes recognize and catalyze a wider array of substrates and reactions.
other
For example, in humans, Ser/Thr kinases outnumber Ser/Thr phosphatases by a factor of ten.
other
To some extent, this disparity results from incomplete knowledge of the human phosphatome, that is, the complete set of phosphatases expressed in a cell, tissue, or organism.
other
Many phosphatases have yet to be discovered, and for numerous known phosphatases, a substrate has yet to be identified.
other
However, among well-studied phosphatase/kinase pairs, phosphatases exhibit greater variety than their kinase counterparts in both form and function; this may result from the lesser degree of conservation among phosphatases.
other
A protein phosphatase is an enzyme that dephosphorylates an amino acid residue of its protein substrate.
other
Whereas protein kinases act as signaling molecules by phosphorylating proteins, phosphatases remove the phosphate group, which is essential if the system of intracellular signaling is to be able to reset for future use.
other
The tandem work of kinases and phosphatases constitute a significant element of the cell’s regulatory network.
other
Phosphorylation (and dephosphorylation) is among the most common modes of posttranslational modification in proteins, and it is estimated that, at any given time, up to 30% of all proteins are phosphorylated.
other
Two notable protein phosphatases are PP2A and PP2B.
other
PP2A is involved in multiple regulatory processes, such as DNA replication, metabolism, transcription, and development.
other
PP2B, also called calcineurin, is involved in the proliferation of T cells; because of this, it is the target of some drugs that seek to suppress the immune system.
other
A nucleotidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of a nucleotide, forming a nucleoside and a phosphate ion.
other
Nucleotidases are essential for cellular homeostasis, because they are partially responsible for maintaining a balanced ratio of nucleotides to nucleosides.
other
Some nucleotidases function outside the cell, creating nucleosides that can be transported into the cell and used to regenerate nucleotides via salvage pathways.
other
Inside the cell, nucleotidases may help to maintain energy levels under stress conditions.
other
A cell deprived of oxygen and nutrients may catabolize more nucleotides to boost levels of nucleoside triphosphates such as ATP, the primary energy currency of the cell.
other
Phosphatases can also act on carbohydrates, such as intermediates in gluconeogenesis.
other
Gluconeogenesis is a biosynthetic pathway wherein glucose is created from noncarbohydrate precursors; the pathway is essential because many tissues can only derive energy from glucose.
other
Two phosphatases, glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, catalyze irreversible steps in gluconeogenesis.
