Phosphatase Classification: PHP

This superfamily has a single family, subfamily and gene PHPT1 in human. Though it is usually described "found in vertebrates and absence in fungi and bacteria", we can find it in non-vertebrates, even in single-cellular eukaryote Monosiga, Dictyostelium and some basal individual eukaryotes like T. gondii and Volvox. In most species, it is a single-copy gene, but four were found in fruit fly including three divergent from the one conserved across the species.


Substrates and related kinase

The known substrates are beta subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins [1], the metabolic enzyme adenosine 5’-triphosphate-citrate lyase (ACL) [2], and the Ca2+-activated K+ channel KCa3.1 [3]. It usually works with nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK).


Involved in nervous system

Its role in neuronal cells is particularly interesting. In C. elegans, the ortholog is expressed exclusively in neurons [4]. In human cells, the overexpression of PHPT1 decreases the activity of ACL and reduces the viability of neuronal cells [5].
