Abstract

The first evidence for tyrosine phosphatase signalling pathways in plants is presented by characterizing a putative protein tyrosine phosphatase gene from the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas eugametos. This cDNA, referred to as VH-PTP13, contains an open reading frame specifying a protein with a molecular weight of 30.3 kDa, that has significant homology with a distinct group of dual-specificity phosphatases. The highest homology is found with CL-100, a human stress-response gene that regulates MAPkinase activity. The purified VH-PTP13 protein expressed in E. coli had phosphatase activity and inactivated MAPkinases from alfalfa and tobacco. Nondividing C. eugametos gametes did not express the VH-PTP13 gene whereas synchronously dividing vegetative cells only expressed VH-PTP13 in the early G1-phase of the cycle, implying a function there. When vegetative cells were subjected to oxidative stress, expression of the VH-PTP13 gene was strongly induced, analogous to the human CL-100 gene. Its potential role in plant signalling pathways is discussed.
