Summary
DUSP16 (dual specificity phosphatase 16, HGNC:17909) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12p13.2, encoding Dual specificity protein phosphatase 16 (Q9BY84). Dual specificity protein phosphatase involved in the inactivation of MAP kinases.
This gene encodes a mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase that is a member of the dual specificity protein phosphatase subfamily. These phosphatases inactivate their target kinases by dephosphorylating both the phosphoserine/threonine and phosphotyrosine residues. The encoded protein specifically regulates the c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathways.

Alternative names: Mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase 7
All UniProt accessions (2): Q9BY84, F5H5X4
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Dual specificity protein phosphatase involved in the inactivation of MAP kinases. Dephosphorylates MAPK10 bound to ARRB2.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with ARRB2.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoplasmic vesicle.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated at Ser-446 by MAPK1/ERK2, which prevents its degradation, and thereby stabilizes it and blocks JNK MAPK activity. (Microbial infection) Acetylated at Lys-55 by the M.tuberculosis Eis protein; this leads to the inhibition of JNK-dependent autophagy, phagosome maturation, and ROS (reactive oxygen species) generation for enhanced intracellular survival of M.tuberculosis.
Similarity. Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Non-receptor class dual specificity subfamily.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 18 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
