In the preceding article (Tonks, N. K., Diltz, C. D., and Fischer, E. H. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 6722-6730), the purification of the major protein-tyrosine-phosphatases from human placenta, some to apparent homogeneity, was described. This report compares the characteristics of these enzymes and clearly identifies at least two distinct protein-tyrosine-phosphatase catalytic subunits. All were absolutely specific for phosphotyrosyl residues and showed no activity on any of the phosphoseryl/phosphothreonyl-containing proteins tested; they exhibited a high affinity for substrate with Km values in the submicromolar range. All were absolutely dependent on sulfhydryl compounds and appeared to contain at least one highly reactive cysteinyl residue essential for activity. Subtypes 1A and 1B could be distinguished by their response to polyanionic and polycationic compounds. The 1B enzymes were activated by EDTA, spermine, spermidine, and myelin basic protein to a greater extent than the 1A subtypes. Furthermore, they were inhibited by approximately 2 orders of magnitude lower concentrations of heparin (IC50 approximately 20 nM) and 1:1 or 4:1 poly (glutamate/tyrosine) (IC50 approximately 50 nM) than the 1A subtypes. Surprisingly, inhibition by the glutamate/tyrosine copolymers was strictly noncompetitive. Peptide mapping following digestion with Achromobacter protease I or Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease supported the view that, whereas protein-tyrosine-phosphatase subtypes 1A and 1B are different, their soluble and particulate counterparts are closely related structurally and are distinct from serine/threonine phosphatases 1 and 2A.
