Protein histidine phosphorylation in eukaryotes has been sparsely studied compared to protein serine/threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation. In an attempt to rectify this by probing porcine liver cytosol with the phosphohistidine-containing peptide succinyl-Ala-His(P)-Pro-Phe-p-nitroanilide (phosphopeptide I), we observed a phosphatase activity that was insensitive towards okadaic acid and EDTA. This suggested the existence of a phosphohistidine phosphatase different from protein phosphatase 1…

A screening method for phosphohistidine phosphatase 1 activity

The described method for determination of PHPT1 activity is comparably much easier and faster than presently used methods for detection of phosphohistidine phosphatase activity and has the potential to be used both for more rapid screening for inhibitors and activators to phosphate phosphatases and for screening of histidine kinases.

First Structure of a Eukaryotic Phosphohistidine Phosphatase*

The structure of phosphohistidine phosphatase (PHPT1) has been determined to a resolution of 1.9Å using multiple-wavelength anomalous dispersion methods and Histidine 53 is proposed to play a major role in histidine dephosphorylation based on these observations and previous mutational studies.

A splice variant of the human phosphohistidine phosphatase 1 (PHPT1) is degraded by the proteasome.

Phosphohistidine phosphatase 1 (PHPT1) also dephosphorylates phospholysine of chemically phosphorylated histone H1 and polylysine

The finding that PHPT1 can dephosphorylate phospholysine in chemically phosphorylated histone H1 and polylysine demonstrates a broader specificity for this enzyme than known so far.

Chasing phosphohistidine, an elusive sibling in the phosphoamino acid family.

The challenges associated with studying the chemical biology of pHis are discussed and recent progress is reviewed that offers some hope that long-awaited biochemical reagents for studying this elusive posttranslational modification (PTM) might soon be available.

Molecular Characterization of an Apical Early Endosomal Glycoprotein from Developing Rat Intestinal Epithelial Cells (*)

The major form of this protein in intestinal epithelial cells has a molecular mass of 55-60 kDa, which is significantly smaller than the size predicted from the cDNA sequence, suggesting that the protein is synthesized as a large precursor and processed to the smaller form.
