The study explores non-conserved amino acids near the PTP active site that play crucial roles in recognizing peptide substrates and non-peptide inhibitors. Key regions such as the SHP specificity region, WPD-loop, and the second pTyr binding site are analyzed. The conservation degree of these amino acids is indicated by a color scale, providing insight into evolutionary variation among 37 aligned human PTP catalytic domains. Understanding these dynamics can enhance our knowledge of PTP specificity and its impacts on cellular signaling.
