Immunocytochemical and biochemical studies were conducted to characterize a
brain-specific protein tyrosine phosphatase, designated STEP for striatal
enriched phosphatase. STEP immunoreactivity was most intense in select
regions of the CNS receiving a dopaminergic input, and was localized to
cell bodies, dendrites, and axonal processes. Western blot analyses of rat
brain homogenates revealed a triplet of polypeptides with relative
mobilities (M(r)) of 46 kDa, 37 kDa, and 33 kDa enriched within the
striatum. Phase separation of protein homogenates by Triton X-114
extraction indicated that this triplet was enriched in soluble but not
membrane fractions. Affinity-purified STEP fusion protein exhibited
phosphatase activity while a mutated form of the STEP fusion protein
(Cys300Ser) showed no demonstrable phosphatase activity.
