A structural exposé of noncanonical molecular reactivity within the protein tyrosine phosphatase WPD loop

Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-IPs) regulate immunity and phosphate homeostasis. Here, the authors’ structural dissection of an Arabidopsis thaliana PP-IP phosphatase reveals that substrates drive their own hydrolysis and identifies a highly elusive metaphosphate-like reaction intermediate.
