Background

Vaccinia H1-related phosphatase (VHR) is classified as a dual-specificity phosphatase (DUSP) ; and the other name is dual-specificity phosphatase 3 (DUSP3) . DUSPs are a heterogeneous group of protein phosphatases that can dephosphorylate both phosphotyrosine and phosphoserine/phosphothreonine residues within the one substrate. Unlike typical DUSPs; VHR lacks mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) -binding domain; and shows poor activity against MAPKs. VHR often act on bisphosphorylated protein substrates; it displays a strong preference for dephosphorylating phosphotyrosine residues over phosphothreonine residues. VHR has been identified as a novel regulator of extracellular regulated kinases (ERKs) . VHR is responsible for the rapid inactivation of ERK following stimulation and for its repression in quiescent cells. VHR is a negative regulator of the Erk and Jnk pathways in T cells and; therefore; may play a role in aspects of T lymphocyte physiology that depend on these kinases.
