Popis: Protein-tyrosine phosphatase [EC 3.1.3.48] from a psychrophile, Shewanella sp. shows high activity at low temperatures and has the conserved amino acid sequence of protein-Ser/Thr-phosphatases. Site-directed mutagenesis with the conserved amino acid residues indicated that His148 could be important as a general acid catalyst and Asp115 assists the protonation with His148 of the leaving group of a substrate, and that Asp76 and Asp112 were involved in binding to magnesium ions.
