unknown subfamily of bacterial and plant dual specificity protein phosphatases
This subfamily is composed of uncharacterized bacterial and plant dual-specificity protein phosphatases. DUSPs function as a protein-serine/threonine phosphatases (EC 3.1.3.16) and a protein-tyrosine-phosphatases (EC 3.1.3.48).
Feature 1: catalytic site [active site], 2 residue positions
Conserved feature residue pattern:C R
Evidence:
Comment:the catalytic cysteine initiates a nucleophilic attack on the phosphate group of the substrate, forming a transient phosphoenzyme intermediate and releasing the substrate dephosphorylated; the transition state is stabilized by the arginine present in the catalytic pocket
