Fig. 6. Stereo views depicting the sequences of the reaction pathway catalyzed by PTP1B. A, PTP1B apoenzyme, with WPD loop open. B, PTP1B C215S Tyr(P)-Michaelis complex, with WPD loop closed; Gln-262 swings out of the catalytic site. C, PTP1B Q262A cysteinyl-phosphate intermediate complex, with WPD loop closed. D, PTP1B vanadate complex, representing the transition state of cysteinyl-phosphate hydrolysis, with WPD loop closed; Gln-262 swings back into the catalytic site. E, PTP1B tungstate-product complex, with WPD loop open.
