UniProt functional annotation for O60729

UniProt code: O60729.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Dual-specificity phosphatase involved in DNA damage response. Essential regulator of the G2 DNA damage checkpoint: following DNA damage, translocates to the nucleus and dephosphorylates FZR1/CDH1, a key activator of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). Dephosphorylates SIRT2 around early anaphase. Dephosphorylation of FZR1/CDH1 activates the APC/C, leading to the ubiquitination of PLK1, preventing entry into mitosis. Preferentially dephosphorylates proteins modified by proline-directed kinases. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17488717, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18662541, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9367992}.

Subunit: Interacts with FZR1/CDH1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18662541}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus, nucleolus. Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Note=Following DNA damage, translocates from the nucleolus to the nucleoplasm and interacts with FZR1/CDH1.
Domain: Composed of two structurally equivalent A and B domains that adopt a dual specificity protein phosphatase (DSP) fold.
Similarity: Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Non- receptor class CDC14 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
