Protein tyrosine phosphatase A (PtpA) has been shown to play a key role in human macrophage infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Protein tyrosine kinase A (PtkA) was the first protein tyrosine kinase shown to phosphorylate PtpA. Here, we found that PtkA-mediated phosphorylation of PtPA on Tyr-128 and Tyr-129 enhances the PtPA phosphatase activity. Moreover, ex-vivo protein-protein interaction assays showed that PtpA can be phosphorylated by several eukaryotic-like Ser/Thr protein kinases, such as protein kinase A (PknA). PknA was found to regulate PtpA phosphatase activity through Thr-45 phosphorylation. These results indicate that members of two independent families of protein kinases tune PtpA activity in Mtb.
蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶A(PtpA)已被证明在结核分枝杆菌(Mtb)感染人类巨噬细胞过程中起关键作用。蛋白酪氨酸激酶A(PtkA)是首个被证明可使PtpA磷酸化的蛋白酪氨酸激酶。在此,我们发现PtkA介导的PtpA在酪氨酸128和酪氨酸129位点的磷酸化增强了PtpA的磷酸酶活性。此外,体外蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用试验表明,PtpA可被几种类真核丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶磷酸化,如蛋白激酶A(PknA)。研究发现PknA通过苏氨酸45位点的磷酸化来调节PtpA的磷酸酶活性。这些结果表明,两个独立的蛋白激酶家族成员可调节Mtb中PtpA的活性。
