ABSTRACT Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are inactivated by dual-specificity and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) in yeasts. InSaccharomyces cerevisiae, two PTPs, Ptp2 and Ptp3, inactivate the MAPKs, Hog1 and Fus3, with different specificities. To further examine the functions and substrate specificities of Ptp2 and Ptp3, we tested whether they could inactivate a third MAPK, Mpk1, in the cell wall integrity pathway. In vivo and in vitro evidence indicates that both PTPs inactivate Mpk1, but Ptp2 is the more effective negative regulator. Multicopy expression of PTP2, but not PTP3, suppressed growth defects due to the MEK kinase mutation, BCK1-20, and the MEK mutation,MKK1-386, that hyperactivate this pathway. In addition, deletion of PTP2, but not PTP3, exacerbated growth defects due to MKK1-386. Other evidence supported a role for Ptp3 in this pathway. Expression of MKK1-386 was lethal in the ptp2Δ ptp3Δ strain but not in either single PTP deletion strain. In addition, the ptp2Δ ptp3Δ strain showed higher levels of heat stress-induced Mpk1-phosphotyrosine than the wild-type strain or strains lacking either PTP. The PTPs also showed differences in vitro. Ptp2 was more efficient than Ptp3 at binding and dephosphorylating Mpk1. Another factor that may contribute to the greater effectiveness of Ptp2 is its subcellular localization. Ptp2 is predominantly nuclear whereas Ptp3 is cytoplasmic, suggesting that active Mpk1 is present in the nucleus. Last, PTP2 but not PTP3 transcript increased in response to heat shock in a Mpk1-dependent manner, suggesting that Ptp2 acts in a negative feedback loop to inactivate Mpk1.

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) are a family of enzymes important in cellular regulation. Characterization of two cDNAs encoding intracellular PTPases expressed primarily in hematopoietic tissues and cell lines has revealed proteins that are potential regulators of signal transduction. One of these, SHP (Src homology region 2 [SH2]-domain phosphatase), possesses two tandem SH2 domains at the amino terminus of the molecule. SH2 domains have previously been described in proteins implicated in signal transduction, and SHP may be one of a family of nonreceptor PTPases that can act as direct antagonists to the nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinases. The SH2 domains of SHP preferentially bind a 15,000-Mr protein expressed by LSTRA cells. LSTRA cells were shown to express SHP protein by immunoprecipitation, thus demonstrating a potential physiological interaction. The other PTPase, PEP (proline-, glutamic acid-, serine-, and threonine-rich [PEST]-domain phosphatase), is distinguished by virtue of a large carboxy-terminal domain of approximately 500 amino acids that is rich in PEST residues. PEST sequences are found in proteins that are rapidly degraded. Both proteins have been expressed by in vitro transcription and translation and in bacterial expression systems, and both have been demonstrated to have PTPase activity. These two additional members of the PTPase family accentuate the variety of PTPase structures and indicate the potential diversity of function for intracellular tyrosine phosphatases.

To examine the substrate specificity and function of two receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases, CD45 and RPTPα, RPTPα was expressed in a CD45-, T-cell receptor (TCR)+, BW5147 T-lymphoma cell. High levels of expression of RPTPα did not fully restore either proximal or distal TCR-mediated signalling events. RPTPα was unable to reconstitute the phosphorylation of CD3ζ and did not increase the expression of the activation marker, CD69, on stimulation with TCR/CD3. RPTPα did not significantly alter the phosphorylation state or kinase activity of two CD45 substrates, p56lck or p59fyn, suggesting that RPTPα does not have the same specificity or function as CD45 in T-cells. Further comparison of the two phosphatases indicated that immunoprecipitated RPTPα was approx. one-seventh to one-tenth as active as CD45 when tested against artificial substrates. This difference in activity was also observed in vitro with purified recombinant enzymes at physiological pH. Additional analysis with Src family phosphopeptides and recombinant p56lck as substrates indicated that CD45 was consistently more active than RPTPα, having both higher Vmax and lower Km values. Thus CD45 is intrinsically a much more active phosphatase than RPTPα, which provides one reason why RPTPα cannot effectively dephosphorylate p56lck and substitute for CD45 in T-cells. This work establishes that these two related protein tyrosine phosphatases are not interchangeable in T-cells and that this is due, at least in part, to quantitative differences in phosphatase activity.
