Abstract

A [phosphotyrosine]protein phosphatase (PTPPase) was purified almost to homogeneity from rat brain, with [32P]p130gag-fps, an oncogene product of Fujinami sarcoma virus, as substrate. The characteristics of the purified preparation of PTPPase were as follows: the enzyme was a monomer with a molecular mass of 23 kDa; its optimum pH was 5.0-5.5; its activity was not dependent on bivalent cations; its activity was strongly inhibited by sodium vanadate, but was not inhibited by ZnCl2, L(+)-tartrate or NaF; it catalysed the dephosphorylation of [32P]p130gag-fps, [[32P]Tyr]casein, p-nitrophenyl phosphate and L-phosphotyrosine, but did not hydrolyse [[32P]Ser]tubulin, L-phosphoserine, DL-phosphothreonine, 5'-AMP, 2'-AMP or beta-glycerophosphate significantly. During the purification, most of the PTPPase activity was recovered in distinct fractions from those of conventional low-molecular-mass acid phosphatase (APase), which was reported to be a major PTPPase [Chernoff & Li (1985) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 240, 135-145], from DE-52 DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, and those two enzymes could be completely separated by Sephadex G-75 column chromatography. APase also showed PTPPase activity with [32P]p130gag-fps, but the specific activity was lower than that of PTPPase with molecular mass of 23 kDa, and it was not sensitive to sodium vanadate. These findings suggested that PTPPase (23 kDa) was the major and specific PTPPase in the cell.
