Background: PRL-1/PTP4A1

Phosphatase of regenerating liver 1 (PRL-1), also known as protein-tyrosine phosphatase 4A1 (PTP4A1), is a member of the PRL subgroup of PTPases (1). It was originally identified as an immediate-early gene in regenerating liver and later shown to be a PTPase that modulates cell growth (2, 3). PRL-1 is widely expressed in human tissues, and the rat enzyme is expressed in neurons and oligodendrocytes of the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum (4, 5). Human PRL-1 shares 100% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat PRL-1. The crystal structure of PRL-1 shows that the protein exists as a trimer (6, 7). PRL-1 localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum in interphase cells in a farnesylation-dependent manner, and to centrosomes during mitosis in a farnesylation-independent manner (8, 9). PRL-1 has been implicated in cell migration, invasion, and metastasis, suggesting that it may play a role in cancer (10-13). PRL-1 promotes colorectal cancer cell growth, migration, and invasion in vitro and tumor growth in vivo (14). Additionally, elevated PRL-1 expression is correlated with tumor progression in human hepatocellular carcinoma (15).
