Title: Comparative analysis of eukaryotic-type protein phosphatases in two Streptomyces genomes

Journal Article · · Microbiology, 150:2247-2256

Summary - Inspection of the genomes of Streptomyces coelicolor and S. avermitilis reveals that each contains 55 putative eukaryotic-type protein phosphatases (PPs), the largest number ever identified from any single prokaryotic organism. Unlike most other prokaryotic genomes, that have only one or two super-families of protein phosphatases, the Streptomyces genomes possess 4 different super-families of protein phosphatases: 2 PPPs and 2 LMWPTPs in each species, 49 PPMs and 2 CPTPs in S. coelicolor, and 48 PPMs and 3 CPTPs in S. avermitilis. Sixty four percent of the PPs found in S. coelicolor have orthologs in S. avermitilis, indicating that they originated from a common ancestor and may be involved in the regulation of more conversed metabolic activities...
