Function

PTKA_MYCTU Required for growth within macrophages (PubMed:29317718). Catalyzes the phosphorylation of PtpA on the tyrosine residues at positions 128 and 129, thereby increasing PtpA phosphatase activity and promoting pathogenicity (PubMed:19366344, PubMed:22888002, PubMed:25535696, PubMed:29724125). Also phosphorylates the thioredoxin reductase TrxB (PubMed:29317718).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The discovery that MptpA (low-molecular-weight protein tyrosine phosphatase A) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has an essential role for Mtb virulence has motivated research of tyrosine-specific phosphorylation in Mtb and other pathogenic bacteria. The phosphatase activity of MptpA is regulated via phosphorylation on Tyr-128 and Tyr-129. Thus far, only a single tyrosine-specific kinase, protein tyrosine kinase A (PtkA), encoded by the Rv2232 gene has been identified within the Mtb genome. MptpA undergoes phosphorylation by PtkA. PtkA is an atypical bacterial tyrosine kinase, as its sequence differs from the sequence consensus within this family. The lack of structural information on PtkA hampers the detailed characterization of the MptpA-PtkA interaction. Here, using NMR spectroscopy, we provide a detailed structural characterization of the PtkA architecture and describe its intra- and intermolecular interactions with MptpA. We found that PtkA's domain architecture differs from the conventional kinase architecture and is composed of two domains, the N-terminal highly flexible IDDPtkA and the C-terminal rigid KCDPtkA The interaction studies between the two domains together with the structural model of the IDD-KCD complex proposed in this study reveals that the IDD is unstructured and highly dynamic, allowing for a "fly-casting" like mechanism of transient interactions with the rigid KCD. This interaction modulates the accessibility of the KCD active site. In general, the structural and functional knowledge of PtkA gained in this study, is crucial for understanding the MptpA-PtkA interactions, catalytic mechanism and the role of kinase-phosphatase regulatory system in Mtb virulence.
