title: Myxococcus xanthus low-molecular-weight protein tyrosine phosphatase homolog, ArsA, possesses arsenate reductase activity.
abstract: Myxococcus xanthus MXAN_0575, ArsA, exhibited sequence homology to low-molecular-weight protein tyrosine phosphatases (LMWPTPs) and arsenate reductases. ArsA exhibited weak phosphatase activity toward p-nitrophenyl phosphate, and high arsenate reductase activity, suggesting that ArsA may play a role in arsenate reductase, but not LMWPTP.
