title: First structural glimpse at a bacterial Ser/Thr protein phosphatase.
abstract: In this issue of Structure, we describe the crystal structure of the Ser/Thr protein phosphatase PstP from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, opening new perspectives to understand the putative roles of "eukaryotic-like" signaling elements in bacteria.
