UniProt functional annotation for P15273

UniProt code: P15273.

Organism: Yersinia enterocolitica.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Yersiniaceae; Yersinia.
 
Function: Essential virulence determinant. This protein is a protein tyrosine phosphatase. The essential function of YopH in Yersinia pathogenesis is host-protein dephosphorylation. It contributes to the ability of the bacteria to resist phagocytosis by peritoneal macrophages. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2166336}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=H2O + O-phospho-L-tyrosyl-[protein] = L-tyrosyl-[protein] + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:10684, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10136, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:10137, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:46858, ChEBI:CHEBI:82620; EC=3.1.3.48; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU10044, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2166336};
Subunit: Monomer.
Subcellular location: Secreted. Note=Secreted via type III secretion system.
Induction: At 37 degrees Celsius in the absence of calcium.
Similarity: Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Non- receptor class subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
