HUMAN CDC25A CATALYTIC DOMAIN
OverviewOverview
Cdc25 phosphatases activate the cell division kinases throughout the cell, cycle. The 2.3 A structure of the human Cdc25A catalytic domain reveals a, small alpha/beta domain with a fold unlike previously described, phosphatase structures but identical to rhodanese, a sulfur-transfer, protein. Only the active-site loop, containing the Cys-(X)5-Arg motif, shows similarity to the tyrosine phosphatases. In some crystals, the, catalytic Cys-430 forms a disulfide bond with the invariant Cys-384, suggesting that Cdc25 may be self-inhibited during oxidative stress., Asp-383, previously proposed to be the general acid, instead serves a, structural role, forming a conserved buried salt-bridge. We propose that, Glu-431 may act as a general acid. Structure-based alignments suggest that, the noncatalytic domain of the MAP kinase phosphatases will share this, topology, as will ACR2, a eukaryotic arsenical resistance protein.
