Mechanism of activating mutations and allosteric drug inhibition of the phosphatase SHP2

The protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 is a key regulator of cell cycle control. Here the authors combine NMR measurements and X-ray crystallography and show that wild-type SHP2 dynamically exchanges between a closed inactive conformation and an open activated form and that the oncogenic E76K mutatio...
