Abstract

Protein phosphorylation is dynamically regulated by phosphowriter enzymes (kinases) and phosphoeraser enzymes (phosphatases and phospholyases). While kinase sequence preferences have been extensively characterized, phosphoeraser selectivity has not been systematically explored. This dataset supports the development of an experimental platform based on tandem mass spectrometry analysis of phosphoproteome-derived peptide libraries (PhosPropels) to profile phosphoeraser activity across thousands of biologically relevant phosphosites. Using this approach, we defined positional residue preferences for eight phosphoerasers spanning diverse species, protein folds, and catalytic mechanisms. We further profiled 20 variants of the phosphothreonine lyase OspF from Shigella flexneri, revealing intrinsic selectivity for p38 and Erk MAP kinase activation loops and identifying enzyme residues that influence phosphothreonine specificity.

This deposition includes: Plasmid maps for expression constructs of OspF, OspF (27–239), WipA, and WipB; quantitative proteomics summary datasets and associated raw data; uncropped Western blots used for analysis of inducible OspF activity in cells; raw .nd2 fluorescence microscopy images; and AlphaFold3 structural models and accompanying files for WipA and WipB. Together, these materials support reproducibility of the experiments and enable reuse of the datasets and structural models for further analysis of phosphoeraser specificity.
