Abstract excerpt
The SHP2 phosphatase plays a central role in a number of signaling pathways were it dephosphorylates various substrate proteins. Regulation of SHP2 activity is, in part, achieved by an intramolecular interaction between the PTP domain of the protein, which contains the catalytic site, and the N-SH2 domain leading to a "closed" protein conformation and autoinhibition. Accordingly, "opening" of the N-SH2 and PTP...
