Phosphatase Classification: Fold CC2: Superfamily CC2
This superfamily has a unique fold, but shares the common CX5R catalytic motif with another two cysteine-based superfamilies, CC1 and superfamily CC3.
The superfamily consists of two member families present in human low molecular weight PTP (LWMPTP) and SSU72. Despite having only 15% sequence identity, human LMWPTP and SSU72 structures superimpose with an rmsd of 1.7 Å [1].
A third family, arsenate reductase (ArsC) [2], is only found in prokaryotes. While known to reduce arsenate to arsenite (a similar reaction to the phosphatase reaction), the B. subtilis gene also has in vitro phosphatase activity. A different phosphatase fold, CDC25/Rhodanese also has members in plants and yeast (ACR2) that are capable of arsenate reductase activity, highlighting the similarity of the protein phosphatase and arsenate reductase activities.
