Mycobacterium tuberculosis is known to express a low-molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatase. This enzyme, denoted as MptpA (Mycobacterium protein tyrosine phosphatase A), is essential for the pathogen to escape the host immune system and therefore represents a target for the search of antituberculosis drugs. MptpA was shown to undergo a conformational transition during catalysis, leading to the closure of the active site, which is by this means poised to the chemical step of dephosphorylation. Here we show that MptpA is
