Abstract
An open reading frame coding for a putative protein-serine/threonine p hosphatase was identified in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrodictiu m abyssi TAG11 and named Py-PP1. Py-PP1 was expressed in Escherichia c oli, purified from inclusion bodies, and biochemically characterized. The phosphatase gene is part of an operon which may pro, ide, for the first time, insight into a physiological role for archaeal protein pho sphatases in vivo.
