Defining the active site of Schizosaccharomyces pombe C-terminal domain phosphatase Fcp1.

Abstract excerpt

Fcp1 is an essential protein serine phosphatase that dephosphorylates the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II. By testing the effects of serial N- and C-terminal deletions of the 723-amino acid Schizosaccharomyces pombe Fcp1, we defined a minimal phosphatase domain spanning amino acids 156-580. We employed site-directed mutagenesis (introducing 24 mutations at 14 conserved positions) to locate candidate...
