Phosphatase Classification: Fold HP: Superfamily HP (histidine phosphatase)
HP is short for histidine phosphatase, which is also known as phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM). Histidine phosphatase does not dephosphorylate pHis. It is named for the catalytic histidine which is phosphorylated during catalysis [1]. The superfamily is a large functionally diverse group of proteins. For a complete of functions characterized members in the superfamily (Table 1 and Table S1 in [2]).

Naming: histidine phosphatase (HP) or phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM)
The earliest and arguably best studied members of this group of genes primarily function as mutase, which results in naming them PGM. However, most if not all of later discoveries have been phosphatase activities of one kind or another [1]. To reflect this fact, we call it histidine phosphatase rather than phosphoglycerate mutase, although the genes are sometimes referred as PGM in literature and SCOP database.
Classification
The fold/superfamily HP consists of two families based upon sequence similarity [1]:
This classification is largely the same with Pfam classification.
Traditional classification
Traditionally, HP/PGM is classified as below [3, 4]:
- Monophosphoglycerate mutase (mPGM) - catalyzes the interconversion of 3-phosphoglycerate (3PGA) and 2-phosphoglycerate (2PGA)
- dependent on 23PGA as a cofactor (dPGM) - found in animal, fungi, and bacteria
- independent of 23PGA as a cofactor (iPGM) - found in plants, and bacteria
- Bisphosphoglycerate mutase (bPGM) - catalyzes primarily the interconversion of 1,3-phosphoglycerate (13PGA) and 23PGA
Pfam
HP corresponds to histidine phosphatase superfamily in Pfam database. It contains two families: branch 1 and branch 2. Branch 1 includes dPGMs, branch 2 includes histidine acid phosphatase. Branch 1 is largely dPGM.
SCOP
HP corresponds to SCOP fold phosphoglycerate mutase-like (c.60). It contains single superfamily, which include the families below:
- c.60.1.1: Cofactor-dependent phosphoglycerate mutase
- c.60.1.2: Histidine acid phosphatase
- c.60.1.4: 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, phosphatase domain
c60.1.1 and c60.1.4 forms dPGM.
