This domain occupies the toxin tip position in a subset of polymorphic toxin domains [1,2]. This domain is found at the extreme C-terminal of certain polymorphic toxin-related Tc-like toxins deployed by bacteria against eukaryotic host cells. This position is where the toxin module delivered into the target cells host resides [1].
Dual specificity protein phosphatase, N-terminal half
The active core of the dual specificity protein phosphatase is made up of two globular domains both with the DSP-like fold. This family represents the N-terminal half of the core. These domains are arranged in tandem, and are associated via an extens ...
The active core of the dual specificity protein phosphatase is made up of two globular domains both with the DSP-like fold. This family represents the N-terminal half of the core. These domains are arranged in tandem, and are associated via an extensive interface to form a single globular whole. The conserved PTP signature motif (Cys-[X]5-Arg) that defines the catalytic centre of all PTP-family members is located within the C-terminal domain, family DSPc, Pfam:PF00782. Although the centre of the catalytic site is formed from DSPc, two loops from the N-terminal domain, DSPn, also contribute to the catalytic site, facilitating peptide substrate specificity [1].
