It relies on the biochemically opposing actions of the pro- tein kinase and protein phosphatase enzyme families. Phosphoryla- Reversible phosphorylation of proteins represents a key mecha- tion of tyrosine residues within proteins in order to steer cell nism in the control of cellular development and function in living decisions rapidly took center stage in the period that multicellularity evolved [1] and, accordingly, mutations in protein tyrosine kinase genes and the signaling pathways they control underlie growth de- fects and developmental disorders in man (e.g. [2]). It is therefore to be expected that enzymes of the super-family of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are equally important to safeguard physiological processes, and indeed PTP gene inactivation studies in model organ- Abbreviations: AURKA, aurora kinase A; CAM, cell adhesion molecule; CD, Crohn's isms revealed developmental abnormalities for several representa- – – disease; CMT, Charcot Marie Tooth; DEP-1, Density-enhanced phosphatase-1; DUSP, fi fi dual-specificity PTP; EYA, eyes absent; FERM, Band 4.1/Ezrin/Radixin/Moesin; FNIII, fi- tives [3,4].

SH3 Fig. 1. PTP gene family members that link to human disease predisposition. Shown are human gene names (on a pink background) and representative schematic domain depictions for PTPs that have been associated with hereditary disorders or disease susceptibilities. The main PTP classes and their subdivisions (yellow and orangebackground,respectively)according to Alonso et al. [11], with inclusion of the TULA family [19] as a fifth class, are indicated. Note that CDC14 and slingshot type DUSP subfamilies (containing 4 and 3 genes, respectively) are not included because as yet no link to a hereditable human disease state has been described. Numbers between brackets reflect the number of disease-linked genes versus the total num- ber of genes in that particular PTP (sub)class. The panel on the right provides a legend to the protein domains used in the schematic depictions of the PTPs in each subclass. The black double line that comes with the receptor-type PTP drawings symbolizes the cell membrane. Note that PTP catalytic domains are in pink and on the cytosolic side. Drawings are to scale and a size indication is included. See the text sections on the respective PTPs for detailed description and references. in proteins, and some even take phospholipids, phosphorylated carbo- 2.
