Abstract
The PTEN tumor suppressor is mutated in diverse human cancers and in hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes. PTEN is a phosphatase that can act on both polypeptide and phosphoinositide substrates in vitro. The PTEN structure reveals a phosphatase domain similar to protein phosphatases but having an enlarged active site important for the accommodation of the phosphoinositide substrate.(omitted)
