Protein phosphatases of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract

The phosphorylation status of a protein is highly regulated and is determined by the opposing activities of protein kinases and protein phosphatases within the cell. While much is known about the protein kinases found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the protein phosphatases are much less characterized. Of the 127 protein kinases in yeast, over 90% are in the same evolutionary lineage. In contrast, protein phosphatases are fewer in number (only 43 have been identified in yeast) and comprise multiple, distinct evolutionary lineages. Here we review the protein phosphatase families of yeast with regard to structure, catalytic mechanism, regulation, and signal transduction participation.
