The phosphatase mechanism of bifunctional kinase/phosphatase AceK

Abstract

We have revealed that bifunctional AceK kinase/phosphatase utilizes a stepwise addition–elimination mechanism in its dephosphorylation reaction. This work explains how AceK enables opposite kinase and phosphatase activities with Asp477 and a single Mg2+ ion.
