The structure of cold-active protein tyrosine phosphatase is notable for the presence of three hydrophobic sites termed the CA Zn-1 and Zn-2 sites behind the loop structures comprising the catalytic region. To identify the structural components responsible for specific enzyme characteristics we determined the structure of wild-type cold-active protein tyrosine phosphatase at high resolution A and measured the catalytic efficiencies of enzymes containing mutations in the three hydrophobic sites. The bulkiness of the amino acid side chains in the core .
